Apple TV

Your NAS, on the big screen. Stream every video in a folder back to back, pick up where you left off, and switch shares or tag profiles in one press. FolderVideoPlayer plays the videos you already own - straight from your own NAS - on the biggest screen in the house. Point it at a folder on your SMB file share and every video inside plays back to back, with poster frames so you browse by picture, not by filename. Nothing is copied to the Apple TV: video streams from your share over your local network, a piece at a time. Browse your library - Poster frames for every video, generated from the file itself - folders with names like 240_300_0QiT5-G141-.mp4 finally look like something - Smart thumbnail caching - every frame is saved on your Apple TV and on your share, so browsing stays fast even in libraries of 5,000+ videos, and once a thumbnail is made it's never made again - Sort by name, date or size, with the direction remembered across folders - Play All plays a folder through to the end, then loops or shuffles Tag it your way - Tag videos from the TV with one click - Favorites, and any tags you like - Tags sync with the FolderVideoPlayer Mac app through your own share - nothing goes through a server or the cloud - If several people use the same NAS, everyone's tags stay separate automatically Made for the Apple TV - Native transport controls, Siri Remote gestures and Now Playing - Resume picks up where you stopped - Different Apple TV user profiles get their own tags automatically Try it without a NAS Built-in demo clips let you explore every screen before you connect a server. Supported formats: MP4, M4V and MOV. Privacy: no accounts, no analytics, no servers of ours. Your videos and your tags never leave your own network. Saved server passwords stay in the system Keychain on your Apple TV. With FolderVideoPlayer for Mac on the same share: • Pinned folders you choose on the Mac or the Apple TV appear on both, for each person who tags. • People you have named on the Mac get their own row on the home screen. • Browse by date, place, or camera, as read off your videos by the Mac. Subtitles: show the transcript made on your Mac, or a subtitle file (.srt or .vtt) saved next to the video, in three sizes.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• A redesigned look: folders, tags, ratings and people now show pictures from the videos inside them, and the background takes on their colours. • A new Home: a big banner to resume what you were watching or jump to your top-rated videos, under a tidier one-row header. • Switch shares and tag profiles from the dropdowns at the top right of Home. Each share remembers the profile you last used on it. • Tag profiles: make, rename, duplicate and delete them right on the TV. • Servers and shares have pages of their own, and a server can use its own SMB port. • Tiles lift and tilt under your thumb, like Apple TV's own. • Focus moves to the right button when adding a server, plus many smaller fixes.
