Stream Blu-ray from Synology to TV

I just bought a new Synology NAS device. I want to convert my Blu-ray movies to digital format to play off a Synology. I would like to rip to a format that will preserve all the subtitle languages and audio tracks in my original Blu-ray movies so that I can stream them on my Android box connected TV.
