It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

Do you have a solution for running movies of off USB or similar with the Apple TV? I sometimes download movies or shows and I don’t want to deal with streaming them from the pc using plex as I always worry that I’m not getting the best quality. I usually plug a usb stick to my smart tv but sometimes it doesn’t pick up on the subtitles.

It’s literally all that is missing from Apple TV for me (plus the VPN thing that was missing). To be able to run media from an external storage.

I stream from my Synology Plex server to Plex on my ATV via Ethernet just fine. Some of my movies are 50GB 4K files and it plays back fine without transcoding.
