    I own a Synology DS220+, with Celeron J4025 CPU. That CPU comes with Intel UHD600 graphics, which should be able to transcode without a problem.

    I'm not sure what am I doing wrong, but I can only DIRECT STREAM to my PC or Phone. Video plays, but when I choose the lower bitrate, it crashes and tells me that the "this client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format".

    My use case is that I work on an oil rig and streaming media from Synology at home. Since the internet speeds are slow, I need to lower the bitrate.

    Could you please recommend, if someone else has a setup on Synology, how to set the transcoding settings to be able to watch it on client devices in lower quality.

    Thank you

    Current transcoding settings:
    Hardware acceleration - Quicksync
    Enable hardware decoding for - All selected
    Prefer OS native DXVA or VA-API hardware decoders - Not selected
    Enable hardware encoding  - Yes
    Enable Intel Low-Power H.264 hardware encoder - No
    Enable Intel Low-Power HEVC hardware encoder - No
    Allow encoding in HEVC format - No
    Enable VPP Tone mapping - No
    Enable Tone mapping - No

    I turned off most of them because I don't know what they do, and such options may cause the issues...

    Can you share the ffmpeg log associated with this attempted transcode?

    Hi sir,
    I'm sorry, but I don't know how to extract ffmpeg log. If you could tell me where to find it I'll send it.

    Meanwhile, I played with settings and now it works. Here are the settings:

    Current transcoding settings:
    Hardware acceleration - Quicksync
    Enable hardware decoding for - All selected, except AV1
    Prefer OS native DXVA or VA-API hardware decoders - YES
    Enable hardware encoding - Yes
    Enable Intel Low-Power H.264 hardware encoder - No
    Enable Intel Low-Power HEVC hardware encoder - No
    Allow encoding in HEVC format - YES
    Enable VPP Tone mapping - YES
    Enable Tone mapping - YES
    Allow subtitle extraction on the fly - YES

    You can access your ffmpeg logs in the dashboard. Near the bottom in the left panel.
