The knowledge base indicates that, starting from DSM 7.2.2, Synology recommends alternatives to Video Station. The fragments explicitly mention:
- Emby as one of the recommended alternatives to Video Station
- Jellyfin as one of the recommended alternatives to Video Station
From the provided sources, I can’t rank them as “best,” but I can say the knowledge base points to Emby and Jellyfin as the alternatives Synology references for DSM 7.2.2.
Also, the DSM 7.2 User Guide says Synology NAS can stream multimedia content with Media Server to DLNA/UPnP-compliant DMAs.
If you want, I can help compare these options only based on the provided fragments, but the knowledge base does not contain a fuller recommendation list or detailed comparison.
