Video Station on Synology

Post by Mike R »

Since Synology decided to remove Video Station after their latest update, others have come up with a way to activate it without their permission.

Script to install Video Station in DSM 7.2.2

Synology's Video Station package has been installed more than 66 million times so there are a lot people very annoyed that Synology decided to abandon Video Station when DSM 7.2.2 was released. Many of those people are saying they will never buy another Synology NAS. So I decided to make it possible to install Video Station in DSM 7.2.2 for people who really want Video Station.

This script installs Video Station 3.1.0-3153 and Advanced Media Extensions 3.1.0-3005

Now also installs Media Server 2.1.0-3304 which supports video and audio conversion.

HEIC for Synology Photos: After running this script and enabling HEVC decoding in Advanced Media Extensions Synology Photos will be able to create thumbnails for HEIC photos again (you can then uninstall Video Station and/or Media Server if you don't need them).
