Stream Player for NAS & SMB

About this app

Stream Player for NAS & SMB turns your Apple TV into a powerful media center that connects directly to your home network storage. Browse and play videos stored on your NAS, PC, Mac, or any SMB-compatible file server - all from the comfort of your couch. Whether you have a Synology, QNAP, Western Digital, TerraMaster, or any other NAS device, Stream Player finds it on your local network and gives you instant access to your entire media library. No need to copy files, sync folders, or set up complicated media servers. PLAY VIRTUALLY ANY FORMAT Stream Player handles the formats other players skip. MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, TS, M4V - load them up and hit play. High-resolution 4K and HDR content plays back smoothly without transcoding. Dolby Digital and DTS audio pass through directly to your sound system for a true cinema experience at home. BROWSE WITH EASE Navigate your file library using an intuitive browser designed specifically for Apple TV. Folders, subfolders, and files appear in a clean list with thumbnails, so you always know what you are about to watch. Sort by name, date, or size to find exactly what you need in seconds. MULTIPLE PROTOCOL SUPPORT Connect via SMB, DLNA, and UPnP. Stream Player automatically discovers available servers on your WiFi network, so setup takes just a few taps. Enter a custom IP address or hostname if you prefer manual configuration. Save your favorite servers for one-tap access every time you open the app. SUBTITLE SUPPORT Load external SRT, SSA, ASS, and VTT subtitle files automatically. Stream Player matches subtitle files to videos by filename, so there is nothing extra to configure. Adjust subtitle size, color, and position to match your viewing preference. RESUME PLAYBACK Start a movie tonight, finish it tomorrow. Stream Player remembers your playback position for every file, so you pick up right where you left off. Your watch history is saved locally for quick access to recently played content. AUDIO TRACK SELECTION Many video files contain multiple audio tracks in different languages. Switch between them on the fly without leaving the player. Stream Player displays track labels so you can identify the right language or commentary track instantly. BACKGROUND AUDIO Listening to a concert recording or podcast stored on your NAS? Switch to background audio mode and keep listening while you navigate other apps on your Apple TV. DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIVING ROOM Stream Player is built from the ground up for tvOS. Every button, menu, and animation follows Apple TV design guidelines, so the experience feels native and responsive. Use your Siri Remote to browse, scrub, and control playback with familiar gestures. NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Buy once and enjoy every feature. There are no recurring fees, no ads, and no feature gates. Every update and improvement is included at no extra cost. Your media library deserves a player that just works. Download Stream Player and start watching in under a minute.

• Album art and track details for music files now come from the files' own tags, including M4A, MP3 and FLAC covers that were previously missed • The Menu button now steps back through your folders instead of dropping you out to the sign-in screen, and asks before closing the app • Cleaner, easier to read sorting and filtering controls in the browser

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
