Works great.

Any negative reviews you just need to learn to setup access rights in your NAS software.

「最近の追加」機能に要望

「最近の追加」に最後再生した動画の位置を覚える機能を追加してほしいです。そして、次回「最近の追加ーを開いたらその位置まで自動的に移動し、それ以降に追加された動画をすぐ確認できるようになってほしいです。

2026 Version is Great

Video Quality is 100% awesome!
On the go on the Phone or watching at Home on the Projector. Love it! Variety of movies to stream, not bad!

No longer works

Video Station was removed from Synology so this app is useless

Worthless

Completely worthless app since its dependencies were discontinued!

Needs Picture in Picture option

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.

Not working

Films like .avi or .mkv, nor .mov do not play through this app

1 star until bring back DS video

Subtitle download/playback no longer works

Used to be a decent app, now unusable for me as it no longer loads or displays any subtitle tracks selected in the app. The only way I can play my media with subtitles is to use a different app and lose Google cast functionality in the process, which was my main reason for using this app.

Simple and fast

This application allows me to save my tv content and gives me a plain and simple interface to access it. It does not try to sell me anything, it fetches the metadata on its own from tmdb, it allows me to choose video, audio and subtitle tracks. It allows me to share access with family and friends with an independent user management system. This is for me the perfect media player by a long stretch.
Sure it might not have all the bells and whistles but with unsupported format, playback is sent to third party media player that supports all latest codecs.

Multi audio track

Means you cant play it. And i guess no one at the company tested this product.

Not find the NAS

The new version not find the NAS on the LAN.
Veri big bug.

Utilisateurs abandonnés !

Depuis 7.2.2 synology abandonne simplement et soudainement son application et cette fonction aux concurrents… c’est le début de la fin???!!

No longer supported :( I’m very sad.

I have been using DS Video for a good part of 1.5-2 years and loved it. But recently the DMS 7.2.2 update state it cannot be installed without deleting first but also it is unsupported. 😡! I have a library of over 650 movies and TV shows I could watch without issue on my FireStick TV. And I LOVED my computer could be off and still have access to my content. I’m currently trying Plex (I don’t like it) and VLC (it’s okay) but so far NOTHING compares to DS VIDEO to me. Please make a new version to work with the new DSM update!!!!!

Works well. But AppleTV will not show the cover images

I like this. It’s simple and works. But could you fix the bug in the AppleTV app so that it shows the cover images. iOS app works, but AppleTV app does not show the images. Thank you.

Ne fonctionne plus sur mon iPhone XR

L’appli ne fonctionne plus sur mon iPhone XR.
Il serait bien de pouvoir choisir de lancer la vidéo avec vlc par exemple lorsque le format n’est pas pris en charge. J’avais aussi des problème ou l’application demande de sélectionner et langue mais rien ne se passe après sélection. Pas de bouton de validation dispo.
Quand une prochaine mise à jour?
