true...and that is how it should be ...big noisy nas boxes should not be close to the tv
save a lot a grief and trouble by shifting to dlna ... no need for codexpacks or anything else
if you get the hdmi on the nas to work fine ..but if not...why bother?
for 30-50 bucks you can buy a x256 10bit capable kodi box..no more trouble

Re: QFile/QVideo/CodexPack - Removed Support for .mkv files and DTS/AC3 Audio Streams
if you still want support for ac3/dts and mkv transcoding
this is my solution: --> BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST!!!!
1. install QTS 4.2.1.20160601 (BE CAREFULL ABOUT NAS MODEL) download( https://eu1.qnap.com/Storage/TS-X51/TS- ... -4.2.1.zip) control panel --> system settings--> firmware update (then select unziped previous file) --> BE SURE TO DISABLE AUTOMATICLY CHECK NEWER VERSION
2. install CodexPack_4.2.3.D_x86_64_Intel_20160328.qpkg DOWNLOAD(https://mega.nz/#F!L1ATCaYQ!51SgWKG2iL4llN3R_CdU_w) APP CENTER -->settings --> install manually
WORKS GREAT, JUST LIKE 18 MONTHS AGO
I quit updating my Qnap NAS

Dolbyman, I have ports 80 and 8080 opened, do you consider this big security risks?

I think EVERYONE considers those ports big security risks. Please ensure they are not accessible from outside your LAN.

Re: QFile/QVideo/CodexPack - Removed Support for .mkv files and DTS/AC3 Audio Streams
but I need them because I use web server on port 80, and various android apps use port 8080 to connect remotely, do you perhaps know hot to solve this problem?

Then you should be updating your firmware. If you are the only person accessing the NAS, consider using a VPN.

yeah leaving the web ports open is a bad idea with an outdated firmware
and if a VPN server is used, don't do it on the NAS (do with the router or other device)

but my web server is hosting my business web page and few others, i need this port open, I see no solution for this. VPN is only for personal use.

- close incoming port 8080 on your router,
- update your NAS firmware to the latest stable release,
- use a VPN to permit your Android apps to access your NAS on port 8080.
