Unusable

After selecting a video to play it asks which sound track you want to play, but there is no confirm or ok button so you are stuck at that page and never able to play the video. How is this function released? No one in your team ever used your own app?

Been using about 8 years

My husband’s been using this app for about 8 years with no issues. He will note that you need to make sure your video codecs are using .m4v or .mp4 to optimize the system resources of the NAS for best video playback on client devices.

It’s way to difficult to sign it

Maybe I js don’t understand smth Abt the app but quite genuinely actually making an account and taking all the steps to sign in was so difficult and in the end the OTP didn’t even work. U also have to download Abt 5 other apps to get this one to work not to mention using the sinology website which is awful and makes no sense. Then the thing wasn’t working bc of some “not enabled quick sign in”? Which I then went to enable as u do but on the website there is absolutely nothing abt a quick sign in or an NAS which was the other thing mentioned. The assignment thing also didn’t work. So overall I’m disappointed bc I don’t even get to look passed the login stage of the app bc it wouldn’t let me in.
