Synology DSM 7.2.2 and Killing Off Video Station / HEVC Support Server Side

NAS Compares Synology DSM 7.2.2 and Killing Off Video Station / HEVC Support Server Side

Synology EOL Video Station in the DSM 7.2.2. Update – Why, How, When and Should You Care? I generally don’t make a big song and dance whenever Synology’s more incremental software updates arrive.

No doubt, you’ve got friends and professional colleagues working in the world of post-production and content creation who have staunchly recommended that you start editing your big projects on a NAS!

YouTubeDL Material – A Self-Hosted YouTube Video Downloader

Let me tell you, I have been through the ringer trying to find ways to download videos from YouTube for my 4 year old son. Having the hard copies for me, is a must for peace of mind. I could go into details about that but the list would make this article much longer than you might desire. You can imagine the reasons yourself. I have tried a couple desktop applications like 4K Video Downloader and Tartube but they just aren’t as convenient as setting up a server side web application.
