User Reviews

DS Video is praised for NAS-based streaming and remote viewing when it works, but is broadly criticized for a lack of ongoing support and compatibility with newer Synology DSM versions. Users report playback and sign-in problems, plus uninstall/obsolescence due to DSM 7.2.x changes. Many recommend alternatives like Plex or Jellyfin. Overall, it can function for some users, but reliability and continued support are major concerns.

Pros

Allows streaming and access to a Synology NAS video library on Android devices when the app is supported.
Generally functional and capable as a basic media library app when NAS features are working.
Works on Android TV boxes, enabling TV viewing.
Supports remote viewing of NAS content from different locations.
Some users feel it offers a competitive experience versus Plex in certain setups.

Cons

Official support stopped; Synology discontinued updates and DSM compatibility breaks the app.
Playback issues including videos not playing, spinning, or slow loading.
Sign-in and connection problems such as sign-in codes not being received and QuickConnect errors.
Compatibility problems with newer DSM versions and devices leading to uninstall or obsolescence.
Requires Video Station; changes in DSM 7.2.x remove Video Station availability, making the app unusable.
