Successfully patched. But DTS videos not playing through Video Center in browser.

[selvasateesh]

Hello,
Originally, I tried to follow the steps listed in the following articles and it didn't work for playing DTS videos in the browser through video station

1. (this link has bee redacted for moderation purposes ; it's a cracker, not a patcher and put you NAS against the Synology TOS)
2. https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/wiki/FAQ-FFmpeg

Then I came across this wrapper and followed the steps still facing the same issue. Could you help how to verify if the patch is proper in the directories?

I am giving all relevant information below:

Dependencies:

Media info:
HEVC with 6 channel DTS audio

It's first time I see this error message, but it looks like a VideoStation error

Could you please follow the procedure in issue template to give the issue report, so I can check what happens

[selvasateesh]

Here is the issue report output. While patching and unpatching printed info talks about ffmpeg3* and ffmpeg4*. But I have ffmpeg6* installed

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback, did you uninstall/reinstall VideoStation and Advanced Media Extensions before installing my patcher ?

The other patchers are conflicting with mine, first step would be to be shure your VideoStation's and Advanced Media Extension's installations are clean, by removing and reinstalling the packages

[AlexPresso]

I checked the Synology documentation about this error and it looks like your NAS is from "group 2": https://kb.synology.com/fr-fr/DSM/tutorial/Can_my_Synology_NAS_convert_videos_for_my_device

It means some format are not transcoded and you need to install a plugin in your browser or a Windows app, I have no idea which one, but as it's not an issue related to the wrapper, you'll have to ask the Synology support about it

I did that. Let me do again. Can you please confirm the following in this order?

1. Videostation uninstall and reinstall
2. AME uninstall and reinstall
3. ffmpeg6 uninstall and reinstall
4. Unpatch and patch using your wrapper
5. Reindex all media files from scratch for video station

[AlexPresso]

Hi,
It's perfect, but you don't need to delete the video station libeary so you don't need to reindex after :)

[selvasateesh]

I did all of the above steps. Still the same result

[AlexPresso]

Okay, so you will have to contact the Synology support to ask them wich plugin you have to install on your computer

It's not an issue with the wrapper, as described in the documentation, your nas is from group 2 and needs you to install a plugin on your computer : https://kb.synology.com/fr-fr/DSM/tutorial/Can_my_Synology_NAS_convert_videos_for_my_device

[selvasateesh]

Ok, let me check with Synology

[jeannich]

Hi @selvasateesh
Were you able to find which "3rd party solution" to install ?

I have a DS223J and I think I face the same issue as you.
Thanks for sharing any tip
