I have network storage. That’s it.

I want to watch anime? I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC. I want to listen to music while on my walk? I open Solid Explorer on my phone and play the MP3. I want to read ebooks? I just open the file in whatever reader app I want.

I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend.

What am I missing out on? Anyone else run their NAS like this?

Thanks all.

    I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own
