FFMPEG met DTS spk voor evansport

[SonnyRasca]

Hi there,

Sorry if im writing in english but i dont speak dutch...

After a long journey looking for a way to let my DS214+ stream DTS movies I found this package, which worked like a charm for several weeks. Recently there was an update on my Synology DS play app and for the media player stating a much better transcoding part for Chromecast. Since this last update I am not able to stream anything over my Chromecast dongle (movies with and without DTS). It just interupts the playback shoving a exclamation mark. Other media players still works perfectly, as they did before due to DTS license included (e.g. my TV Media Player). While I deactivate the FFMPEG for DTS on my Synology, I can stream non DTS movies over Chromecast. As soon I activate the Package it stops working.

As I'm looking through the last posts of this thread, I cant say if you are aware of this issue or not, since I can't barely understand anything (I speak a little german).... Did you guys encounter this issue lately?

Well i  gave up a bit.the road I'm going to take is using handbrake to transcode first or using,  now I am testing first, Plex on my 415play. For transcoding on the fly you really need a good processor. Tried bubbleupnp but that didn't work either...

[SonnyRasca]

Well, it worked for several weeks like a charm, even for external access for up to 5 simultaneous clients, despite transcoding on the fly was very cpu intense, I was able to stream DTS media over Chromecast, ans I still do over other media players. Since the last Synology DS Player Update it has started with this problems. Some of my freinds accessing/streaming over my DS412+ dont have this issue at all. They still stream all DTS and non DTS media over Chromecast. Some user stated it stopped working, then they plugged in again the Chromecast dongle and it worked again. Some user reported the same issue, as they are not able to stream anything while FFmpeg with DTS is running on my NAS. Thats just very strange, especially as the problem seems to be sporadical between different users.... 

As for Plex, which I also used/tested for a couple of weeks, there the CPU was always at over 90%. Even when no one was accessing the NAS to stream. The Plex App just didnt run very effective....



EDIT: --Problem Solved--
I reinstalled Videostation 1.4-0643 on my DS412+ and everything ist working perfectly!

Damn.

Hoped that it solves my DTS-issue when I want to stream mkv.

But the package does not work w/ my DS111.
Solutions available?

Wang to Stream mkv w/ DTS audio to my Sony Bravia TV.
Video is streamed properly, but DTS audio won't work. :-(

Thanks SonnyRasca you saved my day.

I had the same issue since the last update.

Now i can play mkv with DTS on my chromecast with convertion on the fly ^^ again.

Just need to remove the new Video station and install the old one (1.4-0643) : http://global.download.synology.com/download/spk/VideoStation/1.4-0643/

(Don't forget to install ffmpegWithDTS : https://www.dropbox.com/s/1gfoial5e7smblo/FFmpegWithDTS-evansport-1.0-0005.spk)

So I am back again with some further info regarding this problem. The fix with replacing the Server App Video Station was not quite satisfying. Since  Videostation 1.4-0643 (Beta) had problems with the Indexing engine. I was able to stream again but VideoStation was not able to index my complete Library. This was due to some bugs within the 1.4-0643 (Beta). So I was forced to switch back to the latest version, since a rollback to older version was not possible.

So after some further testing and analysis I was able to point out the error. I can also replicate the error. The point is, that the VideoStation App (Smartphone App) is buggy since the last update. It is no longer possible to stream on high quality settings over Chromecast. You must set the quality within the App on automatic and it will stream again without the exclamation mark error popping up. Sporadically it is possible that you need to restart your Chromecast dongle (use the Smartphone App for restart). To play any video I must restart also the ds video app on my smartphone. If you change the playback quality you need to restart the app as well, otherwhise you will see the exclamation mark every time you start top stream anything.
So at the moment I am able to stream from ds video over Chromecast, but just with auto-quality (which is pretty poor compared to the best quality, which I am used to). For every video file I'd like to stream I need to restart my smartphone app. If this is not goint to work, restart chromecast as described as well or try to factory reset.
To conclude this is for sure a Bug within the latest ds video update (smartphone app), as it worked before on older versions, also with the FFMPEG with DTS package, which is still working perfectly, despite the buggy app.
What I am going to try ist to find the next older App version of DSvideo and try with that. In the meanwhile I opened a Support-Ticket at Synology Support reporting that issue and also wrote a review on google play store pointing out the latest update is buggy and crippled my almost perfect user experience... Hopefully they will react faster to fix this issue.

Best Regards,
Sonny Rasca

Maybe this one. http://ukdl.synology.com/download/android_apps/Android-DSvideo.2.3-120.apk

@kilmaster

Thanks mate! With the old DS video 2.3.120 App everything runs again as it used to. High quality settings also works perfectly including DTS media thanks to FFMPEG with DTS package.

So I will report these insights to Synology, as the problem now is without any doubt the latest update of the ds video app.

Hi,

Any updates on this? I'm having the same issue and so far i've been able to stream to Chromecast by disabling the ffmpeg with DTS package. I will try to revert to DS Video 2.3.120 and see if this works for me. If you get any updates on your insights from Synology, could you post them here?

Thanks!

[SonnyRasca]

Hi,

Recently I got contacted by Synology regarding this issue. They asked me to send them a Debug-File which I had to create after i reproduced the concerning problem. Today I just did as asked by Synology. They will contact me as soon they have analyzed the debug file provided.
I will also post here any further outcomes...

hi @ all,


I'll choose English, since there are some non-dutchies joining this conversation


I'm trying to get audio dts playback enabled on my DS 214+ . So far no luck


I had the latest Video Station installed, then tried the FFMEG with DTS package. After installing, no DTS sound.
Then I uninstalled the Video Station (kept my library) and installed version 1.4-0643 as suggested in a recent post. No luck, no sound.
So I uninstalled the FFMEG and reinstalled again. No Luck, no sound.


The last step would be to run with an older version (2.3) of DS Video app. But I'm on IOS and I don't see how I would be able to install an older version of an app.


Any suggestions to get DTS working? Thanks!

[SonnyRasca]

Hi,

You can manually install apps as *.IPA files to your IOS device. See the following description.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23821012/how-to-install-a-ipa-file-downloaded-from-e-mail-iphone
But I thing your bigger problem is to find a relevant old IOS app that still runs without the mentioned bug.
Anyway, I actually thought this issue was just affecting andorid devices/app, as no one of my IOS clients mentioned this issue before. I'll ask my IOS friends what app they are running or what streaming configuration they have (chromecast/Apple TV)

Best Regards

Wil graag dit pakket installeren op mijn DS1515+. Het pakket is zichtbaar in Packet Center, maar het is niet mogelijk om het te downloaden en te installeren.

Wie heeft raad?
