[Raspi3] Qnap TS-230 ARM 1.4 GHz processor too weak for watching 1080p mkv material from Raspi3?

  • I use libreelec (matrix) on a raspi3. It works fine to play movies in 1080p quality from my PC via SMBv3.

    I plan to move my movies to a Qnap TS-230 with a 1.4 GHz ARM processor. Do you think it will work watching from there as well or might the processor of the NAS be too weak?

  • I haVE no issues at all streaming 4k movies from any of my oldish NAS boxes.
