Last year, NAS company Synology announced that it was ending support for HEVC, as well as H.264/AVC and VCI, transcoding on its DiskStation Manager and BeeStation OS platforms, saying that “support for video codecs is widespread on end devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.”
synology also did this recently. shit should be illegal.
that was the final straw for me to switch NAS vendors when I next upgrade.
What would you recommend instead? I’m about to get one.
Minisforum, beelink, aoostar and many others all make much more competitive offerings.
No in house NAS OS, but tbh I recommend just taking the plunge to learn how to install your own OS, like Linux.
What should be illegal is patents like this!
