Stream Player for NAS & SMB

You've already got the files. What's been missing is a painless way to watch them on the big screen. Stream Player lets you browse your servers like a file manager on the Apple TV and play whatever you land on.

Apple TV - tvOS
Stream Straight from Your NAS

Point it at a share on your Synology, QNAP, PC or Mac and press play. The file stays put on the server - the Apple TV just reads it.

4K HDR, No Transcoding

MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV and a couple dozen more play as they are, in full 4K and HDR. Your NAS doesn't get dragged into re-encoding anything.

No Cloud, No Tracking

It all happens on your own network. Nothing to sign up for, nothing uploaded, and no ads wedged between you and your library.

From NAS to big screen in seconds

No cables to run, nothing to sync. Stream Player walks your network shares with thumbnails and folders, so the whole library is a click away from the couch.

Instant playback
Hit play and it starts. There's no download to wait on first.

Picks up where you stopped
It remembers your spot between sessions, so you're not scrubbing to find it again.

Everything a NAS player should do

The stuff that starts to matter once there's a few terabytes of video on the NAS.

4K and HDR

Plays at full resolution, straight through, with no transcoding on either end.

Dolby Digital and DTS

Surround passes through untouched to your receiver.

Subtitles that work

External SRT, SSA, ASS and VTT, plus the ones baked into MKV and MP4 files.

Audio tracks

Swap languages or commentary mid-playback. Audio keeps going in the background too.

Shuffle and queue

Shuffle, repeat, and line up what's next without backing out of the player.

Sleep timer

Fall asleep to a film and it'll stop playback on its own.

No transcoding means a file plays exactly as it was encoded. Nothing softens the picture, nothing makes you sit through a conversion, and your NAS isn't pinned doing the work.

Direct play
The file streams untouched, so you see it at its best.

Browse like Finder
Sort by name, date or size, and filter down to audio, video or folders.
