I have a bunch of films on a networked drive that can be accessed by anyone with the right app on their phone or tablet. With an Apple TV box (or no doubt other media server) you can then ping these straight to your TV from your phone, to watch in their full glory. If anyone wants access just let me know privately - I'll need to supply a unique code to give you access and don't want that on the 'open forum' for obvious reasons.
It's a Western Digital drive, the mobile app is called 'My Cloud' (link here). Attached is a doc listing all the films. The sub-categories are:
70s
Coen Brothers
Documentaries
TV (Folders with series)
Various
Westerns
Caveats:
• You can't download the films with the app, only view, and only via mobile devices, not desktops.
• I use Apple TV to ping to the TV so can only advise on that route, there will be other routes no doubt.
• The list may not include your favourites - tough!
• I've shared this with a few friends who watch now and again. Some have experienced buffering a few times, most have not. I can't control this.
NB: just realised that this very message may be breaking certain file-sharing rules for the CTA website. Apologies if so. Await reprimand / fine / exclusion / one race ban.
