I need an app to play media files on NAS thru SMB/CIFS, so I bought an Apple TV (4th gen) and some apps.

best video player in tvOS for now. no list view (bug and suggestion: http://firecore.com/forum/tvos-new-apple-tv )
NAStify
comment:
Can’t adjust subtitle font size. If you got multiple srt files in the same folder, the app just can load 1 file, besides you can’t choose other srt file from the menu (even can’t see it), and laggy plackback.
