After installing Jellyfin and using it for several weeks with 7.2.1, I decided that I really rather hold onto Video Station and the HEVC codec rather than upgrading. So unless Synology decides to reinstate Video Station, I plan on staying frozen with 7.2.1 for eternity (and maybe even longer). Very disappointing.
Thanks for the tutorial and nice video by the way, the problem is if I have to do this every update and re-index all of the videos (thousands) every time, it's as good as dead to me. Unless Synology does as you said a U turn, to me VS is gone and Synology with it.
So instead of improving Video Station and it's apps to be a basic alternative to Plex /Emby, users now have to hack their Synology's now defunct reason to even own their product? Instead of offering the option to pay for a subscription for a codec license, customers will now need to potentially brick their product or at least make their Nas less secure? If I wanted to do this hack, I would've upgraded to a Ugreen Nas instead with a more powerful internal spec'd hardware now that Synology has no advantage over the competition. Even if they back track their decision to reverse the video station deprecation, the damage is done already. They're basically telling those who use their Nas because of their software, don't buy it because at any given moment they will EOL said software and go buy any hardware from the competition because it's better than anything they slapped together.
10:11 - What's with the screenshot of a bunch of scary looking errors? LOL The only time I saw that error while developing the script was when downloading the video station spk file had failed. I've released v1.0.3 which prevents that issue.
DAVE!!!! Cheers again for the hard work bud. I was running this system off a mobile SIM router, as my main network was saturated all to hell with 2 mini nuc's doing tests with VMs (downloading iso's). That's also why the downloading of anything also takes an age later on in the vid. Also, for those of you who used this video and are now reading this comment - support this man's work - github.com/007revad
I´m still at DSM 7.2.1-69057 and got a warning to update to Version: 7.2.2-72806 I use plex for my video streaming is this version 7.2.2-72806 going to mess with my video streaming?
Could you make a video on what HEVC getting removed means for Synology Photos? I'm getting conflicting information? I think a lot more people care about that than Video Station.
while trying too open it after the installation i get this massage : to use video station , please install th latest advanced media extensions (AME) and update its codec pack. but it is already up to date
I just upgraded to the latest version of the system.... I am disappointed with Synology's product. Withdrew one of the most important functions that their device has. A big negative and probably time to part ways with the company. What will be the next step removing DS Audio ? or quickconnect.... Failure !!!
nice tutorial....for the moment I wont be upgrading.... videostation is not a deal breaker.... but music station IS! video staion (as well as KODI) seems to have issues with choosing the incorrect audio streams with my movies. VLC never seems to have that issue so I don't know what is up with that
They’ve been doing this kinda stuff for a while now, I remember when DSM 7 came out and it removed most USB support including USB TV tuners. I had to stick on DSM 6 due to that :( Even on DSM 6, I have to open terminal and run a script to load the tv stick drivers. They’ve been anti-consumer for years now :(
@@ZoneProduction448 or if you didn't wanted to patch you could have used VLC player alongside as a third party application. I used Video Station only because it was part of the ecosystem and I had all the movie information I needed or maybe I was used to it over the years.

Company doing anti consumer act deserve a ban
I am gonna to hold on 7.2.1 for now

Exactly what I thought. Not indexing again. Now I use Jellyfin.
Time to move on and leave Synology behind like they leave their loyal users behind.
So much more concise and more clearly articulated than your normal videos!!!!!
synology makes it easy to choose a NAS in the future.
If we need to 'hack' our own device, we can better choose a real NAS
Felicidades. nuevo sub, like, eres el mejor, gracias por compartir

Is using Admin account safe? Thought we needed to remove it...
You should turn off the main default Admin account. However you should have an main user that has "admin" rights.
Precisely my point.
👍🏻
Share a synology alternative please.... if im forced to relay on 3rd party Software. I can relay on another company or a selfmade system.
? - can you do a video on refurbished vs new drives ? New egg Amazon etc sell them but are they a good deal ? Can we trust them with our data ?

Don't suppose anyone has managed to do this for the ANNAPURNALABS Alpine AL212 (ARM32) CPU?
Please everyone write synology a message requesting videostation back!
Tried video station a few weeks ago. Couldn’t play most of my video files. Useless.
You need to patch the blacklisted codecs, always been that way
@@ZoneProduction448 or if you didn't wanted to patch you could have used VLC player alongside as a third party application. I used Video Station only because it was part of the ecosystem and I had all the movie information I needed or maybe I was used to it over the years.
yeah, video station has always been useless to me too. I just play videos off the file server, which works just fine.
…I think most people would be interested more how to reinstall H265 codec
The script installs both video station and the previous version of Advanced Media Extensions, which includes the HEVC codec.
Synology, removing Video Station, SUCKS !!!!!
Scandal !!!
First!
