How to play videos directly on QNAP web interface

Post by lcoughey »

I wouldn't have know that this function even existed, had it not been for the fact that I saw it on the QNAP demo. By default, if you click to open a video within the QNAP 4.2 web interface, the video simply downloads for you to play on your computer. But, with the help of an add-on app, TwonkyMedia DNLA Sever, you can now right-click on the video file, click play, choose the video definition of your choice (ie, 1080p) and it will pop up a MediaViewer window and start playing.

It comes on the system by default, but just not enabled.
