That’s …, I just bought that NAS for exact that one reason! ;(
Is there even a NAS on the market with which I can watch a movie like the above over Plex in 4K (with HDR would be optional)?
I wish to make clear:
A Synology NAS, such as your DS918+, will play 4K HEVC and transcode it to 1080p without difficulty depending on the type of subtitles.
In the metadata you show above,
- SRT subtitles are Text based. These can be streamed along with the audio & video.
- VOBSUB and PGS subtitles are images. These must be merged into the transcoded video stream by the CPU
If you turn off subtitles, does the everything play as expected, transcoding from 4K HEVC to 1080p H.264?
