Can you view your own content on an Apple TV? Like with VLC? I don't own much Apple stuff anymore but I'm getting sick of all Android TV options getting so commercialised.

I don't currently subscribe to any streaming service though except Amazon prime (mainly because it's included with the shipping)

The Apple TV App Store is fairly extensive, and has apps for VLC and Plex

Thanks! I don't use Plex but VLC will do great.

Ps does VLC also permit playing from local samba shares?

[pridkett]

Yes, VLC works on Apple TV for Samba shares, but Infuse is nearly perfection for it.

Thanks never heard of that app. But it looks good. Maybe I will switch over to Apple, I'm getting sick and tired of these ads.

Yes, but you can do better than that with JellyBean and infuse or whatever it is.

But VLC works fine.

Infuse app is great for streaming 4K MKVs from a NAS. Owlfiles is a great general purpose file browser with good media support.

Not sure about VLC, but I’ve a Plex server locally and Apple TV app works fine for streaming from the server.

[wkat4242]

Ah ok I don't use Plex. I don't really like it and the way it syncs my library to their cloud (in my country it's not fully legal and one does not 'take notes on a criminal conspiracy' lol :)

Yep!
