# VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher
This patcher is designed to continue the work of [Benjamin Poncet](https://github.com/BenjaminPoncet), to enable **DTS**, **EAC3** and **TrueHD** support to Synology VideoStation, by replacing the original ffmpeg and gstreamer files by a wrapper using SynoCommunity packages.
Huge thanks to [Benjamin Poncet](https://github.com/BenjaminPoncet), [Vincent Fortier](https://github.com/th0ma7), [SynoCommunity](https://github.com/SynoCommunity) and all contributors.
