How to report bugs and text errors in the app?

The Multimedia Server application has some bugs and text errors. Is it worth trying to report them and, if so, how should I do this?

For example:

General: 'play multimeda files from your TANS to your DLNA player.
At least get the name of your own product correct. 'TANS' instead of 'TNAS'

General - Notes: 'if you DLNA/uPnP media device'...'plase try'
Lower case 'i' and 'you' instead of 'your' or 'the' and 'plase' instead of 'please'.

Personally, the use of third person and pleasantries isn't needed in technical instructions, but I recognise that this is a pedantic point.

Settings: 'Audio dispaly format'
'dispaly' instead of 'display'

The level of inaccuracy with this is worrying, as it means there is no quality control in place for the UI. This then raises the question about the level of quality control for anything else.

A possible bug is that the Port and SSDP broadcast interval didn't autofill with default values and the server wouldn't operate until I had manually added entries.

Having just moved from a ReadyNAS Ultr4Plus where I just ticked the DLNA box and it all worked, the TNAS Multimedia Server app seems overly complex yet too simple for the level of complexity at the same time!

I mean second person (you), not third person (he/she/it), but can't find the edit option.

Thank you for your suggestions and feedback. Upon verification, the 'port' and 'SSDP' will be automatically filled with default values. May I ask what versions your TOS system and Multimedia Server application are respectively?

TOS version 5.1.145-00320

Multimedia Server version 3.2.89

They are the default versions for my F4-424 that I've only had for a few weeks.

I have bonded the 2 ethernet ports, so don't know if this has affected the autocompletion of the port and SSDP default values.
