Yes, you are right! At least for now, what you can play is MKV, MP4s with AAC, AVI, etc.
PS: The App is already showing on the Spanish App Store (Latest tvOS build on my AppleTV SDK Unit)

Not play any vídeo from osmc, now test and no work.
OSMC was not included on this first build, only plex and SMB support (for NAA and computers).
Will look into it to include it in the next version.
Yep, I've been looking into it, and the price for that license is insane... I'm sorry but I don't think I'm getting it for now
Can you find your NAS on the App? If so, are you able to access the main share folder at least? If so, have you tried putting in there any video to test, in the root folder? I've received some bug reports about some problems when browsing more than first level on certain NAS and protected servers (Luckily, it doesn't happens on every NAS)
Hi, tried it out last night and have a couple questions/issues. Are you going to support DLNA or just Plex? In app it showed my DLNA server but going into it it just title the screen root and showed no content.
Is there support for nested folders? I added my videos folder as an SMB share on my mac mini server. I was able to load it but it wouldn't show anything nested more then one level deep. So since I'm organized at /category/title/videos or /category/title/subsection/videos I couldn't get to any of my videos. The categories showed find but going into any of them gave a empty list.
The app looked nice and flowed well for what I saw, so hopefully there's a solution.
Thanks

Just tried this app out. It works very well with my WD Cloud Drive and supported nested folders.
Some things:
o needs editing abilities. i.e.: ability to delete files (my most requested feature)
o needs to be able to fast forward and rewind.
o needs to be able to remember playback position
o needs favorites folders
Great start so far. Looking forward to updates.
P.S. With the above features implemented I would pay $10 for this app without any hesitation.

So far so good app picked up my seagate home NAS and my windows 7 PC. It played my MP4 video files from nas that I made using handbrake.
Just some things I noticed. When I go down the list names of my files about 12 or so down the font on the file names becomes unreadable. The first 10 or so are readable.
Great start to this app! I used it tonight to watch some videos from my NAS. Worked well with mkv files. Just am I missing something but there doesn't seem to be any way to FF or REW...? My biggest feature request is a player like this that will also let me delete files from my NAS after playing them.
Hi,
Promising app you have here, just tried to use it to play movies stores on my apple time capsule and none of the movies play, I get an "unable to open file " error after attempting to read/buffer the file up till about 50%.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?

My OSMC share all the files with Samba, and video explorer shows all files with 0 bytes.
Big let down for me:
Appearently the SMB client doesn't support the concept of an account + password to access a shared folder. Video Explorer sees my NAS servers incl. all shared folders, but I can't browse them. Could you please add that ?
NAS servers I have: QNAP TS-451 and QNAP TS-119P, running QTS 4.2 with SMB and AFP on. I use account "admin" + password to access the shares.

I tried your software but it will not connect to my Asus router in SMB mode. It tries to log in as a guest and I can't set any permissions for that. Could you build in a way to manually enter a username and password since your software cannot auto detect for some routers? My other SMB recognizes the need to login just fine, but it can't maintain my movies.
[EDIT: It's already 'Ready for Sale']
Hi guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my app, Video Explorer, which is able to play content from your LAN Media Servers (including PLEX , NAS, and shared folders), is already In Review
You can take a look here

I hope it gets approved for launch day!
I updated the app today and I'm sorry to say that it's getting pretty terrible.
It now fails to play most files thus rendering it almost useless
The rewind and fast forward are bad
It tries to remember playback position but because of that there is no way to start the show from the beginning. You have to rewind all the way back which is a painful experience.
