VideoStation-FFMPEG-Patcher

Banner

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.
