Can the DS115j also be used as a Plex server? What is your experience with MKV playback in 1080?

Hello. Unfortunately, no. Various Synology drives have too weak a processor. I searched for a long time myself because I wanted to understand why films can be played on a TV but not on a PS4. The reason is that some formats have to be converted, which Synology unfortunately can't do. They are ok purely as a backup solution, but as a media server they are too weak. You can find forum posts about this. As an idea: H96 from AliExpress with USB disk or PlexServer on a PC/Mac or Netflix :-)
