No worries, I'm happy to help if I can :)
As you said, the DS923+ doesn't have an iGPU. While it won't cause any issue with the patcher itself (you can patch any NAS of any architecture even if not having a GPU), you may be unable to play/transcode hardware encoded video formats like H.264 and H.265 (these formats are widely used).
I have no idea if that's a possible choice for you, but I would highly recommend choosing a NAS having an iGPU, specially if you're having a lot of users, a CPU without hardware transcoding will suffer a lot to play your movies even if you pre-transcode them with offline transcoding

Question Hello,
Sorry if it's a noob question but I can't find any answers ^^ I have an issue with my DS920+ ; It might be replaced with by Synology with the DS923+ The DS923+ doesn't have a iGPU anymore (compared to the DS920+) which is used to Transcode video & audio.
I was wondering if it might be an issue with your patcher & DS Video / VideoStation if I end up with the DS923+.
I have loads of person using VideoStation on there iPhone / Android / Android Boxes / Apple TVs etc. I wouldn't want it to be an issue.. ^^
Thx for the help ! :)
Kid.
