Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! For your issue with buffering on the Firestick 4K, here are a few suggestions:
Video Formats: Try using video formats that are natively supported by the Firestick, like MP4. This way, your NAS won’t have to transcode, which can be demanding for an older Xeon processor. Check the list of supported formats for your HDMI dongle to make sure your files are compatible.
NAS Upgrade: Since your Xeon doesn’t handle transcoding well, it might be worth upgrading to a newer model like the Synology DS224+. It’s more efficient, and you’ll get better performance for streaming without worrying about transcoding.
