That surprised me, too. A while back they nerfed some feature in Video Station, their IMHO crummy Plex analog. Wow, did people ever get bent! Meanwhile, I didn’t know anyone actually used and liked it. It worked alright but the client apps were/are a giant leap behind alternatives for Plex or Jellyfin.
But no, the built-in option seemed to have a league of fans in the Venn overlap of “people who want to stream video off their NAS” and “people willing to settle for an oddball solution”.
- nathan_douglas 1y agoWeirdly, Audio Station is the best app I've found for streaming podcasts from my Synology (given the quirks of podcast hoarding in practice). Admittedly, I haven't looked in a few years... maybe I should get on that.
- kstrauser 1y agoThat seems plausible. I don't think there's as much competition among audio apps, and I (perhaps naively) suspect there might be a lower bar for UI polish. We were using XMMS back in the day, and while it looked cool, it wasn't the paragon of user-friendly design.
