Second method:

  • Download firefox tv release on some network drive accessible to Shield Pro (mounted).
  • In Google Play Store, install the simple File Manager from HiMedia.
  • Visit the (mounted) network share, and select the apk.
Pin a page

  • Press the menu button on remote
Note: The menu button on the remote must be customized to send the menu command.
  • Click the pin button

Use MiXplorer

Let's try a simple file explorer to easily find the latest downloaded video.

Some candidates (see also [2]):

MiXplorer seems the best candidate for now:

  • Nice interface to browse the NAS, with file sort by date (most recent).
  • Can launch video in Kodi, VLC, or any other player.
  • To play video from NAS, first add the NAS as a SMB share (don't use mounted shares).
  • Using direct link works (no need to copy temporarily).
  • Swipe text on the right.
  • Move icons up and down to sort.
  • Using the History is also very handy.
Add a shortcut to Home / Bookmarks
  • Select a file, and long press
  • Select triple vertical dots, then add to..., then select either Home screen or Bookmarks, or Home...
Questions
  • I selected direct link to view video, and set remember. How can I un-remember it?

Play a video on NAS

Kodi
  • Add NAS as repository
  • Scan for new changes
  • Select the movie in the library, or in the folder list (! title might be wrong).
  • Navigate in menu to select audio and subtitles.
VLC
  • ???
MiXplorer
  • Open NAS bookmark
  • Navigate to folder
  • Click, select direct link if asked, then select either Kodi, VLC, or any other player.
  • VLC seems best for choosing audio / subtitles.

Play a video on internet

Chromecast
  • ???
Firefox TV
Firefox Browser
Puffin browser
  • ???

Applications

Browsers
File Manager
Plex
  • Error when creating the server. The fix is to disable the addition of libraries.
  • Also, set remote streaming quality to maximum. Not sure this was necessary (did it because forbid transcoding on NAS, but in principle it should not be remote...)
