infuse and apple tv box

I am an apple freak and love everything apple BUT I have to use a firestick so that I can add an adaptor to play files from an external drive.

I am guessing it is not possible via apple TV box ( does the apple tv Cube? )

and I am searching for work arounds that are simple and dont involve needing my computer open and playing while streaming to the TV, ....I read about an app called infuse 7 which apparently will stream all files from google drive and more. This would give me an easy option to open the app on the apple tv and stream my movies

Has anyone used this, any feedback, is it as good as it seems ?

Or any other suggestions but not PLEX as I need to leave my laptop open with plex running

Thanks in advance

no files are located on the appletv itself

the synology apps on the appletv access the files stored on the nas

well the synology nas don't come with harddisks one have to add them oneself maybe that is what they mean by discless.

That sounds great although a pricey option but looks like one of the best ways . I hope you don’t mind me asking a bit about the set up.

how Do you navigate to the files on the Apple TV ?

There are loads of nas devices , the synology says it’s discless ? What does that mean ,

sounding real thick 🤦‍♂️
