Hi guys,

Just 2 quick questions:
1) Is it able to integrate well with popular NAS products, e.g. Synology/QNAP, and play files off of those NAS?
2) Is it able to play 1080p MKV files with external subs (*.srt) with no issues?


Thanks!

Find video players that can offset the subtitles cause some will start at diff point and won't sync with Wats on screen

just watching netflix / hulu, a roku will serve you better
in fact, a Amazon firetv stick will do just fine.
heck! even a chromecast will do, but it does involves some network tinkering.

would this work better with 5hz range extender

Hi,

I have the following configuration

1. 4gen xiao mi box
2. ASUS dual band router
3. drink 2.4g range extender

But the streaming is a little lagging. It goes into frequent loading during streaming. Sometimes this happen even through streaming through my NAS.

Would this be resolved with using a dual band range extender?

Thanks

Mike
