Was going to update my NAS and this warning popped up. I'm not technical enough to know if this impacts Channels (I use a mix of Shields, Google TV Devices, and phone/tablets to view)? Sorry if this was addressed previously, I did a search of the DSM # and didn't hit any previous posts.

Starting from this version, the processing of media files using HEVC (H.265), AVC (H.264), and VC-1 codecs will be transitioned from the server to end devices to reduce unnecessary resource usage on the system and enhance system efficiency. These codecs are widespread on end devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs. If the end device does not support the required codecs, the use of media files may be limited. Refer to this article for workarounds.
