My NAS is DS920+. When watching downloaded 1080p movies in mkv format (files normally between 5G to 10G) on my ipad remotely using DS video, it suffers from buffering. I had similar problem with my old 213 which does not support transcoding at all.
With this high end DS920+, I would have expected it has good transcoding capability and can detect what my client device is, i.e. ipad in this case, and transcode it to a suitable format to enable it to be played 'on the fly" on the ipad (transcoded to mp4?). However, this is not the case and it's video playing performance is just slightly better than my old 213.
My 920+ is connected by LAN to a 1G connection. I wonder if I have not set it up properly.
