The NAS is the DS716+II which has hardware transcoding support (that serviio hopefully supports?) so it should be more than enough. The log doesnt say something conclusive, only that it tries to start the playback. I can perform some more testing or I can send you a video if you want for you to try it.
EDIT: It looks like that Serviio doesnt use the hardware transcoder and because of this the transcoding takes longer to initiate. After I receive the error, if I switch videos and then come back to the one which has already started transcoding then it works correctly since it has already buffered a bit. I have contacted patters in the hopes that he will give me some tips on how to implement the hardware transcoding on the DS716+II as well but now at least I know what the issue is. Can I somehow increase the timeout on the browser itself or is there a workaround for the time being? Thanks
