This patcher is designed to continue the work of Benjamin Poncet, 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, Vincent Fortier, SynoCommunity and all contributors.
