How many people used Video Station instead of Jellyfin in a container?
True. When I first started experimenting with the NAS to stream home media, Video Station worked fine. And I could also access content outside of the home network without messing about. Obviously Jellyfin, Emby, Plex are better.
To be fair, neither runs well on my DS916+. I use the NAS for storage and have a laptop next to it as a Linux server with Docker containers.
I just started playing around with it. I have a DS220+ so it has more horsepower than your ‘16, however a good plugin I found was “disable transcoding” it’ll basically send the stream raw to a device and leave it to the device to deal with. As such it flies on that hardware.
