I'm moving into a new apartment pretty soon and I'm gonna be setting up a brand new home network, and I'm interested to see if there are any solutions for accessing and playing back movies from a NAS on either an android or apple tablet (wirelessly of course) while still being able to access the NAS from my computer to add more media to my collection.
I don't currently have a NAS or a tablet, I'm basically waiting to see if my preferred media consumption solution would work before purchasing the hardware. I'm assuming certain NAS boxes would be better suited to this particular task than others, and there are probably apps on both platformes' stores that could enable this functionality, so if anyone has experience doing this sort of thing I'd love to hear it
P.S. Because the tablet would be primarily for movie watching, I'd prefer an android over an iOS device simply for their tendency to be more 16:10 displays, but I'm open to either solution
P.P.S. If this should go under a different forum subject let me know, networking seemed the most relevant
