DS video for Android
Works great on phone, tablet, and Android TV.
Used to be great, but since the latest patch (13 Dec 2016) you can no longer play your videos via an external 3'rd party media player app. They only play with the default included player, which is terrible. Please fix this ASAP, this is one of the reasons I've purchased the Synology NAS in the first place!
I love this app!! Only problem that I'm having is that it crashed when I try to change the download location. Just selecting the option in the settings causes the app to crash. I would really like to be able to download videos to my SD card. Otherwise I have no complaints.
It's missing the remote control if I play the movies via windows or browser app. There should also be media info written somewhere (or have a Chromecast ready badge). Lots of stuff is unplayable on it.
Get with the program you douche canoes!!! The whole reason I bought the Synology NAS was because of the Samsung support on TV apps. Still no update on TV apps and can only play within my network. Also Cast ability gone with latest Samsung phone and tablet updates. I bought Samsung TV, tablets, and phone so I wouldn't have to go out and buy an add on like chromecast. So mad I could punch a baby... Not really, but still pissed. I am having to cast Netflix for my kids instead of the programs I have ripped in my Synology NAS... Just pissed away 2+ grand. I have told several people that have seen my setup to hold off buying one until you grow a set and update. Get your little sweat shops in China to stop making Nike for a minute and fix your issues.
Seems to be having issues with Chromecast. It will cast videos fine but I cannot seek to a different part of the video and the seek is always stuck at 0...
There is no option to play all videos in a Playlist or a folder. Need to select each video to play manually. This limitation makes this app almost not user friendly.
I used Windows home server before moving Synology. Being able to access my videos using an app like this puts Windows media player into the dark ages
Used to work just fine. The last upgrade which was forced does not work at all. Garbage!
Works just fine on all platforms except chromecast. It is a huge shame.
Crappy and buggy. Refuses to connect to the Chromecast device. Stay away from this app it will only frustrate you. Synology messed up big time with this rubbish app version
Keeps draining battery even though not using it. It's been like this for several updates
First day worked ok. Now unknown errors, doesn't play any videos neither on phone nor on tv. Use w. Nas 216j.
Works great on mobile and Google cast. The UI needs an overhaul, navigation is too complicated
Works fine with my cheap j series DS. Now if only you guys could publish the app for WebOS TV as well that'd be awesome.
Chromecast is detected but when connect to it, display keep black screen and no video stream.
used to be able to stream to my smart TV... now not working so now useless
Used to work well, now the download screen doesn't update, it crashes frequently and has terrible lag
Great app with a nice clean interface. However very temperamental and randomly stops working.
I have a DSM916+ and this is working fine. One note: it doesn't actually play the movie, the VLC I already had installed did that.
Does not work on Android Nougat. Whenever I try to open a video, the app just force closes.
I like the app, it does what it should do, BUT I would like to have the ability to exclude certain folders on the app by user. So user 1 has access to everything and another user has less access. This then can be controlled on the diskstation app.
When casting to Chromecast, playback stops as soon as I play a video locally on the device.
Everything is great. But when i am streaming to a chromecast the streaming stop when i go into a game on my phone?
Latest version crashes immediately on opening, making it unusable.
Always an error when I try to log in...
Does what it says it will do and does it well. Waiting for inclusion into the new Samsung Smartapps Store for the QLED series.
It needs some improvements but I don't think that it is not a good App
Do not work after upgrade
The latest version allows me to skip frame and resume function is not working at all
Need to change in TV MENU why cannot change in DS Video??
Does not show folders and file names for movies, randomly substitutes covers and movie names
Can't use external player and internal player unable to play many formats even simple Mkv files.
Video files won't play, no error message provided whatsoever.
Why do I have to login if wanting to watch downloaded content
Toll wäre die Möglichkeit Videoinformationen auch unterwegs bearbeiten zu können
Some files won't download, "unknown error" (but do play) -- Honor 5X
Cannot open on samsung tab
still no mkv subtitle/normal subtitle support

Doesn't let me choose the video player anymore. Still crashes with android wear remote.
