You need a ripper program. Once the discs are converted to files you can play them with Plex media server (free) on a smart TV or Roku, Chromecast, Fire Stick etc connected to the same network. I can play anything on the computer via Plex. It’s just faster with better control plugged in. I use one ripper for mono and another for surround. But to decode dts they have to be played via my Sony BluRay. I don't have a clue what the Zapiti (?) is good for. Except lightening your wallet. You can buy a ripper program and a used Sony to play it on. for <$100. |
Your movies ( music ) are stored on the Zappitti NAS. The NAS is connected to your network ( Ethernet ) The Zappitti media player in connecte to your network ( Ethernet ) The media player detects the NAS and all the movies ( music) in it. Probably , Apple TV 4K would detect the NAS too. Zappitti media player ( I think ) https://www.amazon.com/Zappiti-One-SE-4K-HDR/dp/B07DLWVYQX |
Just use a ripper program. There are gobs of ’em. Put them on a drive and plug them into a player. Roku Ultra $80. Old ones work fine too. Or a Samsung, LG or TCL TV. Are you late to the party or what? Been doing this for 20 years. Just to avoid previews and other BS when all I wanna do is watch a movie. Now. I travel with an old Roku and mucho movies on a SSD. |
You will probably want to look into the high end media players such as Zidoo, Zappitti and Dune. Zappitti actually just recently came out with a mass storage NAS device that will rip DVDs blurays and CDs into it's storage array for playback: https://www.zappiti.com/zappiti-nas-4k-hdr It's likely expensive, but combined with a Zappitti media player, it's what you're looking for. |
