Vlc streamer nas synology5/26/2023 Does it work? It seems pricey, but when I think about it, I'd much rather pay $100 than have 2-3 years of crappy HDMI performance from my current setup. Ya it works, it also doubles as a HDMI signal booster. The fact that you have signal and then it disappears leads me to believe that the HDMI port on that laptop may have weak signal strength or having difficulties with the handshake. Set up Synology NAS After receiving the Synology NAS, you can follow the video below to set it up on a Mac. Once port forwarding is correctly configured. Of all the solutions however, I would probably just go for the HDMI Atom dongle. Learn to stream your multimedia files from your ZyXEL NAS onto your favorite iOS device with the VLC app. When I bought my TV, my only concern was the ability to properly and sharply display 1080p from a computer over HDMI. As I said, I've found many cheap ones that couldn't. I asked the (in hindsight, probably clueless) sales guy what made other TV's more expensive, and he said it was "the processor". I asked him what that meant for a TV, and he said it would enable it to flip channels quicker. Sounds like he handed you some techno babble. If you bought it from a big box store, they do not do much, if anything for product knowledge training since sales people were taken off commission. When it comes to the intel graphics options, I really haven't had to touch anything in terms of settings.Īs with any electronics purchase now days it is better to research first online and ignore the sales people. Granted all my PC's run linux so Windows performance may differ. Your choice of render method could also come into play. ![]() You may want to try a different DX or oGL renderer in the advance settings of VLC. That was a mighty post, and I’d give it +10 if I could. Hopefully the rest of the community will right this for me. ![]() You can select one or more files on the Files tab, select a CD or DVD on the Disc tab, or even capture video from a specific device on the Capture Device tab. ![]() In the Open Media dialog, select the media you want to stream. I didn’t know there were such PC’s available cheaply. To start broadcasting a network stream, click the Media menu in VLC and select Stream. I saw the TechReport news bit for it during CES, but I didn’t know it was available yet (still looks like it isn’t widely available in the US.) It looks like the same guts as my new Asus: quad core Bay Trail, 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB flash storage. I wouldn’t have believed it, but apparently it’s all you need for web browsing, YouTube, Netflix, etc., even with a base installation of Windows! But hopefully this has better video output than the Asus. It’s actually my work laptop, but I usually take it home on the weekends for streaming. EDITOR’S CHOICE: Plex (Plex) Pros: Fast and intuitive user interface Easy setup Provide cover art, music videos, trailers, and more Cons: Many features require a subscription or lifetime pass. A battery-free permanent installation would be great, particularly if it could serve up HDMI flawlessly. It looks like the Asus has Intel graphics, probably integrated into the BayTrail processor. I wonder if that gives me more stability or less control for monkeying with the settings.
