Bought the 673A and got it up and running. Today I installed a Crucial 32GB module with the original 8GB and they seem to be working fine. Final question, if that’s ok. What GPU should I buy for it? I’ll be using it for Plex and in the future for surveillance. So far Plex works […]

Best NAS for 4K PLEX transcoding The best NAS for Plex is definitely new 88X series such as TVS-h1288X. It comes with a Xeon CPU and also transcoding chip built-in. Normally you do not get Xeon with this multimedia chip. Qnap ts-h3088xu is a rack that also features a transcoding chip, but it is quite expensive. The […]

Synology can not play videos on a TV – “this file is not playable” This is actually very interesting. When you stream via LG Audio/Video there is nothing to do with Synology Video Station. TV is receiving original video. Its all DLNA.

I have a QNAP TVS-672N of which I am using as a Plex media server. I have already upgraded the CPU to an Intel i7-8700, and was wondering what the best GPU would be to install to help with hardware accelerated transcoding. I was think of the quadro p2000 but am unsure about whether that […]
Nvidia GPU in synology boxes and Plex A few months ago you reviewed the DVA3221 and reported that the GTX 1650 it ships with could not be used for Plex HW transcoding. A Plex forum user just tried the same and did get it to work. Could you please revisit the topic on your YouTube […]
Do I need to worry about a QNAP NAS supporting the SMB v1 file protocol in order for Sonos to recognize and play the files? Both Synology and Qnap will allow you to enable SMB1 as a minimum protocol. This will then allow your SONOS to communicate with your NAS. To use a NAS […]

Would you mind giving me a little more advice please. It’s not clear whether a Celeron CPU with a discrete GPU is better for transcoding than one with raw CPU power. I had a look on your website but couldn’t find the answer there either. I don’t suppose when you do the PLEx tests you […]
