Never Gets Updates, Can we get an auto play next

Just wanting to know if we could get an auto play next episode function when watching TV shows through ds video? Specifically if your watching on a Samsung TV and you get to the end it won’t just auto play next which is inconvenient having to select play next every time especially when you just want background noise. When your accessing your nas through web browser and go through video station it plays next idk why this can’t.

Good, could easily be better

Once you get accustomed to some quirks this is a good and functional app. Simple is good, it is, and I hope it stays that way. Navigating your library isn’t super intuitive initially but you’ll figure it out. If you Synology guys could add a repeat/loop video option like you have in the mobile and browser-based apps that would make my day for real. Oh, and when you use the search function in ‘all videos’ you can swipe to pop down to the second video in the search results (why not the first? I don’t know) but swiping left or right just pops you back up to the search bar and renders the feature basically useless unless you get lucky and the second one in the search results happens to be the one you want to watch. It would be real nice if that got fixed. Thanks for the good work, guys.

Pretty seriously lacking

The app does what I need it to do for the most part, but one of the most frustrating things is the inability to jump forward or backward by 10 second increments, which is especially frustrating on the Apple TV version of the app. This seems like it would be an easy fix, so why hasn’t it been fixed?Update a couple of years later:MAN I wish Synology would bring this app into the modern era. Years later we STILL don’t have a 10/30 second skip forward/skip backward function. Not to mention the lack of Autoplay Next Episode (works on Apple TV but not on other IOS devices). It’s just so behind the times. I’m not expecting Netflix, Prime, or Paramount+ levels of refinement and functionality here, but I’d at least like to see some basics added into the app. Need to remove one of my original three stars from the rating. NEEDS SERIOUS WORK!

Has worked good with Apple TV, 3rd gen

I was using this app on a Ruko, but everytime they updated it broke. So I bought 2 Apple TVs and installed the app. It has run flawlessly from the beginning. I have all my videos on a Synology NAS in the mkv package to avoid wear and tear. This app makes use of the hardware transcoder in the DS916+. The sound quality is very good as it will pass through the video to my equipment. The picture rivals the disk itself. As the hardware transcoder is used the the cpu hardly runs. I am totally satisfied with the app and the nas.

Fixed Issues: 1. Fixed an issue where the login page might not show all NAS devices in the local network on iOS 16 devices. 2. Fixed an issue where videos cannot be played via third-party players. 3. Minor bug fixes.
