[QA] DS Video and ffmpeg #123

Hello Alex, Thanks for your work!

My father got back my old Synology DS413 locked in DSM version 6.2.4-25556 Update 7, with VideoStation 2.5.1-1668 and AME 1.0.2-0039. With your script, I can play an mkv file with an eac3 sound track from VideoStation in my laptop's Web browser. However, I can't play the same file from the DS Video 1.1.7-10060 application installed on an Android device (MiBox): the android application displays the message that it cannot play a file with an eac3 soundtrack In the first case, I can see the ffmpeg process (with ps), whereas in the second case the NAS only launches vtestreaming.cgi and never the patched ffmpeg. Is there any way of forcing ffmpeg streaming with DS Video? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Unfortunately, if the android app is using this endpoint, it's directly transcoding on its own side, not using VideoStation's ffmpeg at all.

It might be possible to fully override it, but it will require both patching on VideoStation and a custom DSVideo android app. That's really a lot of work to do and in the end hard to maintain at every new major versions.

You can find more infos in the wiki section regarding the different behaviors or VideoStation: https://github.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/wiki/FAQ
