I'm still hunting for the ultimate videosolution on my NAS. I'm using Plex mostly today but there's still things here and there that annoys the hell out of me:
* Subtitles are not reliable, sometimes they work, sometimes now.
* The AppleTV4K Plex-app at the time I write this is very unreliable. Plays files when it feels like.
* The iPhone app works pretty good (after many months now of frustrations), but subtitles randomly disappears (fix: rewind the movie 10 secs and they're usually there again).
Sometimes I go back to Videostation, the Synology-app but it annoys me as well:
* It produces .vsmeta-files for many videofiles and totally clutters your filesystem.
* Not enough settings in the iOS-app, you have no idea how much data it's using when you're on the bus watching a movie or something. Plex atleast has bitrate settings.
I got my attention for "Infuse". It doesn't actually need a server, just a fileshare (webdav pointing at your NAS works fine). It doesn't transcode, but plays the files as-is on your device! I guess this works best when you're on wifi-networks.
But still, the thing that annoys me here. You need to active both iCloud-sync and some Trakt-account to make it remember where you stopped playing a movie assuming you want to resume on another device.
Infuse also has some issues, when I tried it, sorting covers of tv-shows. Sometimes they're in folders and sometimes now.
Still waiting for the perfect solution. Plex is the winner at the moment, but it's far from perfect sadly.
