NAS, 4k video sharing over Internet
Hello,
I need an advice. I want to start a NAS server in my home. I want to buy this: Synology DS418
I would like to share my films and all the data over the internet to my brother's home or even to a friend.
I want them to play smoothly mainly movies in 4K resolution.
I informed about DLNA technology. But this technology only works on the local network, but not over the Internet to another home, does it? So my brother couldn't open my shared folder from the NAS server on TV, could he?
I wanted to test how DLNA works. So I downloaded Serviio on my PC. Sharing movies on TV work well. But only Full HD video was played smoothly. When I tried to play a 4K video, it was freezing every 5 seconds. Only lower quality 4k movies, about 10GB, probably witch less data flow went smoothly.
So the question is how to share smoothly quality 4k movies. I think I will need a faster connection in the local network, so Gigabit network. (not 100Mb/s)
So I need a gigabit network and run the Serviio PRO on the NAS server to share the data over the Internet. Also i need replace my LAN speed and Recipient will also need a Gigabit network and both sides of course must have a fast Internet connection. (I have internet connection 37Mbps and brother 22 Mbps)
Its right ? Have someone some experience with this ?
