Yeah totally! Just a question, can you login on the MediaStreaming add-on? For me I get redirected to the login page, just want to know if the codexpack is causing this issue.

I tried both (CodexPack_4.2.3.D_x86_64_Intel_20160328 and CodexPack_4.2.7.D_x86_64_VA_20160530) and my mkv file is not played :(

Make sure you uninstall the old version before you install the new! On 4.2.2 I was using 4.2.3D which worked fine. (TS-251)

i noticed a bug. i hadn't yet made any changes.

but few issues
1. codex pack cannot start. it's permanently disabled
2. notification keeps nagging to update all apps. it refuses to not spam even after you click cancel the notification.
3. emby video transcoding using stephs ffmpeg was no longer working. But it did straight after i removed the codex pack addon.

oddly enough earlier codex pack worked. my guess is something changed where it got disabled somehow :S

maybe editing the qpkg.conf will get it working again properly not sure :)

Mine scenario was like that:
Running 4.2.2 with Codex 4.2.10, upgraded to 4.3.2 beta, installed codex 4.3.0.1, uninstalled, manually installed 4.2.7.D fixed, app center want update, winscp,edit config and just save, refresh app center and everything was fine, transcoding on the fly working, app center showing 4.3.0.1 instead of 4.2.7 :-)

I just wanted to express my gratitude to you guys. I've just bought a TS-451+ and was furious to find out that the MKV support has been removed. I've started to read the forum posts, and found that this is related to some sort of licensing problem. I've checked license.qnap.com, but all I can license there is camera licenses... I would have payed some for QNAP to have the MKV support back in. Then I saw your post, installed the codex and bumm. It started working. So once again, thank you guys!

I have a TS-231P model with ARMv7 CPU and firmware 4.2.2. I can only install "Codexpac 4.1.0.Arm_al" but restart NAS after installing and the audio does not work.
The problem is because the Codexpac version is old? Is not there a more modern ARM version?

Hello All,

I cannot say how much I am now upset with Qnap, :-( I just got tricked by the update of codex and have lost transcoding feature. Probably my last Qnap, I can't stand brands that remove features they have used in all comercials / publicity / etc and then just remove it like that. This is fully unaceptable, what is next feature they can remove without consequence for them? Raid.. why not. if they can remove transcoding, why not Raid support tomorrow... i am really furious !

Thanks to help us where Qnap is dramatically failing with their customers.

By the way for intel based NAS like the TS-251+ can we use VA (?) 4.2.7 or only 4.2.3.0 . Thanks again.

As has been stated many times before, MKV support was NOT removed. AC3 (Dolby Digital) and DTS support was due to the vendors wanting licensing $$$ from Qnap.

I have given QNAP some suggestions on how potentially a middle ground could be achieved via a seperate license (similar to the new ExFat licensing options that just came out). Whether anything will happen along those lines... I have no idea.
