After updating the OS to the latest release (ADM 5.1) will loose the following features: | |||
= | *certain video formats will no longer be supported => video formats not specified | ||
*updated libraries in ADM are not compatible with ffmpeg patches provided by Realtek. This affects NAS ASUSTOR NAS devices running Realtek CPUs. Which means hardware accelerated transcoding will no longer be supported after upgrading to ADM 5.0. Only video formats natively supported by the browser will remain playable while transcoding commonly used formats may not play properly. | |||
*USB IP printer support will be discontinued | |||
*components of the USB drivers will not be compatible with ADM 5.0. This means USB IP printer functionality, that is, connecting to a USB printer plugged into an ASUSTOR NAS through ASUSTOR Control Center will no longer be supported in ADM 5.0. Only network printer functionality will be available. | |||
