You can already do what I'm describing. It just requires that you have a computer with iTunes running or an iOS device.

- rahimnathwani 13y agoWhat you're describing is "use just storage attached to your router and the AppleTV". You cannot already that. I acknowledge that you can work around that limitation by using AirPlay from Mac/iOS, or adding media to your iTunes library. My point is that there's no incentive for Apple to add the specific functionality you (we) would like, i.e. playing stuff from a USB mass storage device or from an SMB share.

- rahimnathwani 13y agoMy point is simply that, although there are already ways for you to watch non-iTunes-store content onto your Apple TV, Apple has no incentive to provide you with an additional method like USB mass storage or SMB streaming.
