I’d love a NAS for storage but not something I should spend on now. But I actually just have my Plex server connected via IP through the Plex app on my smart tv/smart device. Not sure if that’s an option for you but all I do is download media, place in appropriate folder, sync the server, login to server on device I’m viewing, start watching. 😎

It probably would work fine but would just be redundant for now. 95% of my downloaded media I watch on the TV that is close to my PC so being plugged in and controlled with a steam controller works out fine.

The other 5% I end up watching on the bedroom TV I just run through Handbrake and stick on a USB since Roku is weird about certain codecs.
