Media Streaming Add-On must first be installed in the App Center.
 Bonjour must be enabled when using multi-zone streaming. You can enable Bonjour in
"Control Panel" > "Network Service" > "Service Discovery" > "Bonjour".
 Only MP4 video files can be directly streamed if your NAS does not support On-the-fly
Transcoding. You can consider transcoding them into different media formats if they
are desirable. For details on transcoding, please refer to the Transcode Management
chapter.
 If your NAS supports transcoding, please install the CodexPack App before using this
function. The NAS will try to transcode to a suitable format for your device. If your NAS
does not support transcoding, the NAS will only output the original file format and the
seek function may not work properly. In this case, please make sure that your device is
compatible with the file format used by the video.
 Some video formats may experience issues when streaming via DLNA, Apple TV or
Chromecast. If any of these issues arise during video playback, you can consider
transcoding your videos into universally-compatible media formats. For more details on
transcoding, please refer to the Transcode Management chapter.
 Some media players do not support pausing during playback. If this happens, playback
will continue even if you use the pause feature.
Left Panel
 Shared Videos: List all the videos in all shared folders on the NAS (except videos in the "/home"
and "Qsync" folders) and all videos are only visible to authorized users.
 Private Collection: List all videos located in the "/home" folder, and those multimedia files can be
viewed by yourself only.
 Qsync: List videos synchronized from the Qsync service.
 Video Collection: List all virtual collections. All entries listed under a collection are only links to the
physical files. This can effectively conserve your NAS storage space, as you can keep only one
copy of the videos even when you create a collection for a special theme. For collection operations,
please refer to the below section on Using Video Station.
 Smart Collection: List all smart collections. Smart collections will only show videos that match
user-defined classifications, such as Home Videos, Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos; and can
save effort in managing videos. For instructions on smart collection operations, please refer to the
section on Using Video Station below.
 Recently: Include recently-imported videos (within a month) from a local device or taken with a
camera or recording device.
 Trash Can: All deleted videos can be found here and can be restored or permanently deleted.
Only deleted files (and not virtual links) will show up in the trash can.
