## Common questions

### What should I do if a Serviio container needs custom configuration?

For custom configuration, map /opt/serviio/config to your AppData install directory. Also wait a short time after the first start, then restart the container once.

### Is remote access to Serviio included in the free version?

No, accessing your files over the Internet requires the Pro edition. With Pro you can use MediaBrowser or one of the apps to view your content.

### How can I get an SSL certificate working on a Synology NAS running Serviio?

The Serviio wiki has a how-to page for installing an SSL certificate on a Synology NAS and other devices.

### How does Serviio handle renderers that do not support some media formats?

Serviio uses renderer profiles to tune playback for particular devices. It can also transcode media to reduce lack of format support.
