WEB INTERFACE PART 2

Thecus has taken an different path with the N4100EVO (and perhaps with their other NAS servers) since in order to use specialized applications (modules) you need to install them yourself (much like the QPKG packages in QNAP NAS servers).

Most basic applications are included in the bundled CD but you can probably find newer versions on the official Thecus support page.

Now perhaps the most important module of the ones included in the CD is the WebDisk module which after you install it appears on the login screen as a separate ball.

The WebDisk interface actually looks quite good but as you can see it has a 2GB limitation per file something which i can't figure out why.

Unlike other NAS servers the N4100EVO does not have an dedicated media player, instead it comes with the HTML5 Flowplayer which starts playback once you double click on a media file.

However either because the Flowplayer is not ideal for media reproduction (at least not heavy HD files) or because the N4100EVO is not strong enough no matter what FullHD media clip i tried to playback it just wouldn't keep up and so it would just freeze every 5-10s (even the small 1080p clip from Chris Roberts Squadron 42 vision was too much for it). And that's not all since Flowplayer can't reproduce a large range of media files most importantly MKV ones (something i hope they can fix soon).
