So I want to setup a QNAP 253D+ as I do not want to pay for streaming platforms however I can't find an app to set it up.
Plex is what everyone is recommending but that requires outside authentication with plex. So if I want to stream from my NAS to the TV I have to authentication with Plex and I want to avoid that. I do not know when Plex is going to decide I can't watch Aladdin on my home system do to racism or something like that.
Isn't Kodi an option any more?
Plex minus the annoying automation.
I've never met a Smart TV that had Kodi, or would let you install it. Thanks to [deliberate] conflating those piracy add-ins with the Kodi project as a whole, don't expect it any time soon.
Despite shortcomings like HEVC 10bit decoding, Raspberry Pi running Kodi is a pretty decent setup.
