GPGPU HD Station HDMI 4K output - Enquiries - 10-21-2022
I have a TVS-672XT with an ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU and want to be able to directly stream 4K movies using PLEX in HD Station. [OK, so first problem was that only the QNAPClub PLEX Media Player worked, and now QNAP has made that non-functional, requiring reversion to an older driver, but I diverge.] I added the Nvidia driver, set the Resource use to QTS Mode, enabled the PCIe GPU for priority use, and still... PLEX does not use the card. Am I missing something? I have found different compatibility listings which say the GTX 1050 Ti does and does NOT support HD station, but my experience so far is that it does not.
I have digitized an extensive Blu-ray/4K collection and my objective is to use the NAS HDMI PLEX direct stream output to view the movies with the same quality that I get from my 4K player. Can the TVS-672XT ever do this, or do I need an entirely different NAS/GPU combo? I could use this NAS for photography and purchase a new NAS, but with that expense will need some assurance that it will indeed output 4K movies via HDMI without constantly lagging and buffering.
Any advice? I've seen other people with similar questions, but not many clear solutions.

Yes, Qnap have removed support for Plex via HD Station. I would suggest streaming via DLNA. You can get a cheap Android TV stick such as Xiaomi TV Stick https://amzn.to/3FpEgcr

You can link all of these with a NAS you have.
