Video station cannot obtain posters and information from tmdb in batches

Post by 2776696310 »

Video station cannot obtain posters and information from tmdb in batches:
Edit video information
Click or right-click a thumbnail and select Info.
Click or "Search the Internet for Profiles".
Enter a keyword and click Search.
Select relevant information from the search results.
Click Apply.

I have already set tmdb in the folder, but it still can't be added automatically.
However, you can only add posters one by one manually, which is not efficient. I don’t know if it’s a software bug or it’s just like this. If it’s like this, can it be fixed?

"Free" apps that come as a marketing tool to push along sales of product are not typically very robust of feature rich. You may want to explore other products that are designed and maintained for the purpose as opposed to included for free and fill a check box.

For example, Plex may provide better/more functionality although we are in the dark as to what hardware you have or the version of Video Station you are referencing as a comparison.

QNAP TS-231P-US 2x18TB Seagate Exos HDD Raid-1

I don't know why I need to give up video station and use plex, because plex runs very slowly on arm models, as for why I don't write models, because this is not a hardware problem, but a software problem.
The reply I found after searching the forum is to use plex, why can I use plex when Synology can use video station, and qnap only has an English forum, I can't ask questions in my language, and I have called the engineer, no result forever

As for what dosborne said, the hardware configuration of NAS is far from worth the price, so for NAS, a mature software ecosystem and long-lasting use of hardware are the only way for NAS company to survive.
