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 on ARMv8 (x64 and x86 should be fine). I'm working hard to fix it but in the mean time please do not update your ARMv8 NAS to DSM 7.0. I'm also aware and investigating about the following issues:

performance issues on some architectures
x265 (HEVC) running in infinite loop

Supported architectures

(check your NAS architecture here)

ARMv8 ⚠️ (partial support of DSM 7.0)
