Synology Photos: Video playback buffering

[RogerA]

Hi all!

I have a question about video playback speed. Suppose the following:

1. NAS behind 100/100 mbit down/up-load fiber.
2. Quickconnect (with open ports to prevent relay)
3. DS220+ with 10 MB ram

Lets also include that I try to watch a video in Synology Photos (7.2.2-72806 UP1) on my iPhone 12 connected to a 100/100 mbit at another location (not through 4g/5g that is).

As I try that I get buffering so that it gets irritating.

What would you say is the bottle neck in such a case?
Is it:
A. the internet speed at my home or at the remote location?
B. The hardware in my DS220+?
C. Some transcoding needed for the playback?
D. Something else?

I can add that I upload videos through Synology Photos and do not use neither HEIC nor HEVC on my iPhone. It is set to compatibility mode (if that makes a difference).

Is there a cure to remove/lessen the buffering?

Regards

When that buffering happens, can you confirm the CPU/volume usage on the NAS side via Resource Monitor?

10 GB ram ?

Sorry guys, the buffering was something completely different and caused by me . Thanks anyway! Yes it should have been 10 GB.

Care to share? Just so we can have closure on the matter? It would be good for the overall knowledge. Glad you figured it out!

Very basic really. I was on 4G (bad connection also) so that was the bottle neck that caused the slow buffering. Sorry for taking up your time on my confusions.
