Plex has only one UI so your stuck with it but its the most Apple like system I guess, Plex does all its own metadata scanning automatically though it can import some pre-made metadata. This is a better approach as the Shield has superior video encoding capabilities than your NAS. The Shield can also act as Plex transcoding server instead of the NAS, provided you have a good ethernet network link between NAS storage and the Shield. So the Shield Plex client is less likely to transcode video. Plex media server runs on your NAS (its on Synology app centre) and this scans your content, the Plex client then plays it on the device, the Nvidia Shield Plex client is more developed than other Plex clients, which are often simple wrappers on a stock video player which causes server to transcode (convert in real time). Operating system is AndroidTV and DV playback requires using Plex.

Can do 4k HDR10 and 4k Dolby Vision with bit-streaming Dolby TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD.

The Dune uses same hardware as above but has a different UI which you can see here. Owners thread over here might be able to help with more questions you have. You can see video review of the box here with UI and media indexing on network shared folders added as a source.

Operating systems is Android with a custom UI and video player layered on top.

I'm looking for advice on how I do this, set this up, being able to access all of my media which I have already put in the metadata such as cover art, movie description, etc. It looks like one of the players will do what I want but I am in unfamiliar territory and have no idea how Dune works, if I have to start over since I have been using iTunes/ATV for so long. So now it looks like I have to start over and someone recommended one of the Dune Media players. I like the easy interface of the Apple TV and just bought the Apple TV 4K 2021 because my understanding was that if I use Infuse, I would be able to pass-through mkv/mp4 movie files encoded with TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD, taking advantage of DolbyVision, being able to use the Apple TV interface I am familiar with, but after on a Firecore forum chat realize I can't do this because of hardware limitations. I am now wanting to watch movies in 4K video with higher quality audio moving from AC3 such as TrueHD Atmos and DTS-HD (7.1) being able to take advantage of my 5.1.2 setup.

I moved into a new house several months ago and upgraded to an 85' Sony 4K TV along with a new Yamaha receiver (Aventage rx-a2a) and installed two ceiling speakers to create a 5.1.2 setup.

I had a 5.1 speaker setup and my movies were encoded with AC3 5.1 audio in 1080P video. Since I am a Mac guy with a few Macs, Apple TVs, iPhones, etc, I have spent several years building my iTunes library, using the Apple TV to stream the various media through my Yamaha receiver.

All of these are Blu-ray rips and not purchased from Apple so I am wanting to exclusively watch my content. I have over 4TB of movies and TV Shows, as well as a whole music collection, workout videos and Home videos on a Synology NAS Drive attached to my network.

I would like recommendations on what to use and how to use it. My apologies for the duplicate post from the Dune Media Player Post but I am looking for a recommendation for the following situation and didn't mean to narrow it to only Dune.
