I have been looking for a solution to watch my iPhone family movies on Apple TV. While I run Plex with infuse front end on Apple TV, the 4k apple movies from iPhone only play on my 4k Apple TV, and on my 1080p Apple TV and tvs it's so choppy it's u watchable. With Plex with transcoding it tells me my DS918+ is too slow to transcode, and DS Video stutters too bad to be usable.
Interestingly the synology photos app for Apple TV was finally released and the videos play quick with no lag on my 1080p Apple TV with no issues. (Found this by accident since my family movies/photos are all stored together in year/month/event folder structure).
Is there something native about synology photos making this work? Should I put all family movies into synology photos? Is this somewhere converting on the backend or is it just using the advanced extensions and ds video isn't?
Happy that this option works, just trying to figure out why only works on the photos app for Apple TV.
Thanks
