 Only MP4 (H.264) files can be directly streamed if your NAS does not support
on-the-fly transcoding. You may consider transcoding videos into different formats. For
more information about transcoding, please refer to the Transcode Management
chapter.
 If your NAS supports transcoding, please install the CodexPack App before using this
function. Your NAS will try to transcode your video into a file format compatible with
your device. If your NAS does not support transcoding, it will only play videos in their
original file formats and the progress bar may not work properly. In this case, please
ensure that your device is compatible with the format of the video.
 Some video formats may encounter issues when streamed via DLNA, Apple TV or
Chromecast. If any of these issues arise during video playback, you may consider
transcoding your videos into a universal file format that is compatible with most
devices. For more information about transcoding, please refer to the Transcode
Management chapter.
 Some media players do not support pausing during playback. In this case, playback will
continue even if you use “Pause”.

 Shared Videos: List all the videos in 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
only be viewed by the user.
 Qsync: List videos synchronized by 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 save your NAS storage space, as you can keep only one copy of
videos even though you put videos in several collections of different themes. For more information
about collections, please refer to the Using Video Station section.
 Smart Collection: List all smart collections. Smart collections only contain videos that meet your
own criteria, such as Home Videos, Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos. For more information
about smart collections, please refer to the Using Video Station section.
 Shared Center: Show the sharing history of your videos. You can check the name, link, expiration
date, and summary of each entry or share these videos again.
 Trash Can: All deleted videos can be found here and can be restored or permanently deleted. Only
deleted files (and not virtual links) will appear in the trash can.
Note:
 The "/home" folder can only be accessed by its owner and NAS administrators. Private
or personal videos should only be stored in your "/home" folder.
