Low FPS after updating to last DSM about videostation-ffmpeg-patcher

[cptspartano]

Okay I found the problem. It was because of Chrome, not VideoStation or your patcher. I just went to watch a Youtube video and was happening the same. I've restarted the computer and now everything plays fine. Sorry to bother you in the end, and again thanks for your work!

Hi, thank you, I'm glad you like it :).
Synology could make it work, the main reason they don't implement it is because they don't want to, these codecs (DTS, EAC3 and TrueHD) are licensed, it means that Synology would have to pay a global licence fee based on every Synology users each year to make it possible, I don't think they will.

About your issue, I'm currently working on a new wrapper, could you please try the following:

• connect through SSH and switch to root user, like you did for the logs
• unpatch using the following command: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/main/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -a unpatch
• repatch using the new wrapper: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexPresso/VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher/main/patcher.sh | bash -s -- -b new_wrapper

Just tried it, and the videos with black image now has the normal image, but the low FPS problem still remains :_D

I know about the licenses problem, I read it when trying to find a solution. The thing is, I think they should find a solution or an alternative either way (I don't know, maybe making VideoStation an open source option could save them the money, like with VLC or Jellyfin?). For now, I can manage accessing locally the files through my computer or Chromecast, but when I'm out of my home I don't want to download the files on my own computer. I know there are alternatives as Emby, Plex or Jellyfin but they didn't work as good as Video Station: Plex couldn't make it work, Jellyfin was VERY slow (I'm guessing because it was running in a Docker instead of his own app) and a lot of thing weren't working as they should be, and Emby I think you have to pay for some features.

Anyway, your work is a lifesaver for making VS working properly (apart for the problem I'm having now)
