Appreciate all response so far, but none accomplish what I want.
-
From my iPad Pro I want to SEE (not stream) Movies & TV Shows on my NAS with metadata and artwork I have stored alongside them in accompanying .NFO, .jpg, .png files setup for KODI / PLEX compatability.
-
Transfer (download/sync, whatever the app names it) the videos to my iPad Pro along with the metadata and artwork I setup on my NAS so that when I take my iPad Pro off the grid I still see the same thing.
Infuse came sorta close in that it displayed correctly what was on my NAS from it’s library view but was inconsistent and buggy and did not transfer the metadata and artwork to the iPad Pro when I downloaded/synced the media. It kept trying to scrape the internet for the metadata/artwork instead of using my .nfo, .jpg and .png’s.
I don’t want to use Plex cause it wants to transcode everything since its players only support whatever the native platform supports. I can play all of my files on my iPad Pro using VLC (free) and many other fine iOS apps, but they don’t display my curated metadata/artwork during a browse/download from my NAS or when on the iPad Pro off the grid after syncing/downloading which is what I’m looking for.
Continuing the quest…
Just to give an idea of what I mean when I say my Media is layed out for compliance with KODI / PLEX.
for this test case my NAS has following directory/file structure;
