cell123 Posted February 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2015 Hello, I am new to this wonderful forum though I have been reading this forum for a while, first time to post. I have a question for HP N54L running xpenology, since N54L comes with a PCI slot, I am wondering if I could install a low profile video card with HDMI, then I could watch video directly from it on TV. I know installing card should be easy, I just worry there is no HDMI/video card support from DSM, anyone has experience of it. Thanks in advance.

drizzit Posted February 8, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2015 As far as I can find the N54L in itself supports a stand alone GPU, however DSM does NOT support it. So all in all if you want to use it as a media player you will need to run something other then DSM on it. If anyone has any other experiences I'll happily be corrected but yea...

cell123 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted February 8, 2015 Thank you, that is what I thought. Just curious, DSM should support GPU/HMDI, because its play version, like DS414play, has HDMI. It may depend on its own driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no, you are right, play version has NO HDMI, confused with QNAP. So, no hope to run it as media player, unless run it in virtual machine in N54L.
