DSM Video

Entertainment

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your NAS is packed with movies and TV shows. DSM Video is the app built to watch them — a fast, native experience on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Synology dropped Video Station support on current DSM firmware. If you've kept your NAS up to date, you lost your video app. DSM Video fills that gap. It connects to DSVideoServer, a free lightweight package you install on your Synology, and gives you a fully native media player that feels like it belongs on your Apple devices. --- WHAT YOU GET Stream your personal library directly from your NAS — no third-party cloud, no subscription, no compression. Your files, your hardware, your control. - Native HLS Streaming — smooth playback on any network. Adaptive quality keeps video playing even on slower connections. - Apple TV App — a full tvOS experience built for the living room. Focus-engine navigation, cinematic poster art, and a parallax icon that looks great on your home screen. - iPad Sidebar — browse your entire library in a persistent sidebar while you watch. - Gesture Controls — swipe anywhere to scrub (a full swipe = 30 minutes). Swipe up or down to control volume. Pinch or double-tap to toggle fill and fit. - QuickConnect Support — access your NAS from anywhere using your Synology QuickConnect ID. No static IP, no port forwarding required. - Resume Anywhere — watch progress syncs across your devices. Stop on iPhone, pick up on Apple TV. - AirPlay — beam anything to any AirPlay-enabled display. --- COMPLETELY FREE. NO STRINGS. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads. You paid for your Synology — the app to use it should be free. DSM Video and DSVideoServer are both open-source on GitHub. --- WHAT YOU NEED - A Synology NAS running DSM 7.2 or later with an Intel or AMD (x86_64) processor - DSVideoServer installed from GitHub (free, open-source) - Your DSM username and password Setup takes about five minutes. Open Settings → How To for step-by-step instructions. --- DSM Video is an independent app and is not affiliated with Synology Inc.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Ask Siri for a movie, and your Home screen finally stays up to date. SIRI • "Play Blade Runner in DSM Video" or "Find Blade Runner in DSM Video" opens it straight to the title — no typing on a remote. HOME SCREEN THAT'S ACTUALLY CURRENT • Just Added now comes from your server instead of being guessed at on the device, so films you added an hour ago show up. A show that gained a whole season counts as one new thing, not twelve, so it can't bury everything else. • New Suggested row, picked by genre from what you've been watching. • Rows no longer go stale after a pull-to-refresh. SHOWS THAT WERE HIDING • A series split across two folders, or with only some episodes matched, now appears once instead of twice — or not at all. Star Trek: The Next Generation and others are back. • Episode names are correct where they used to show the filename. HOME AND AWAY • The app now switches between your home network and remote access on its own. Come home and it notices, without a restart or a trip to Settings. • The library keeps syncing instead of quietly stopping and looking fine. PLAYBACK • HEVC videos that played as audio-only now play properly. • Scrubbing repeatedly no longer locks you out of your own video. • Faster startup and smoother seeking, with deeper buffering. • Downloads that failed silently now actually download. FIXES • Only one volume indicator on screen. • Bigger, more reliable tap targets, and buttons that no longer look available when they aren't. • Error messages name the real problem instead of guessing.
