This patcher is designed to simplify the installation steps from this Gist (huge thanks to Benjamin Poncet) and enable DTS, EAC3 and TrueHD support to Synology VideoStation by replacing the ffmpeg library files by a wrapper using SynoCommunity ffmpeg.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

Due to recent publication of DSM 7.0, the ffmpeg-wrapper is working randomly depending on your NAS hardware. I'm working hard to fix it but in the mean time, please do not update to DSM 7.0.

Supported architectures

ARMv8 ⚠️ (fails on DSM 7.0)
