Hi @luckyinpa
Welcome to the Community!
This thread might help you as well https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-to-ReadyNAS/Does-RN42200-100NES-support-media-streaming/m-p/1635077#M16625
You can use Plex Media server or ReadyDLNA or TiVo. Though TiVo will play the videos it sent to the NAS, not really sure if it can play saved videos but Plex and DLNA will.
These apps/features will be able to play your media to your compliant devices
Hope this helps!
Regards

the readydlna seems to be what i was looking for. id love to move all my videos to a NAS then just use my tivo premiere to pull them and have the NAS transcode just like pytivo does for me now from my laptop.
would like to free up laptop space as well.
i'm hoping someone on the forum has a tivo premiere and can report theyve done this as i've read about some issues with netgear and tivos but i believe they were the newer ones like bolt. not my old premiere.

im having a problem on my new nas 422. i made a new folder called plex and even installed plex of course. i also made a folder called tivo which i think tivo can back up into but thats not my concern right now.
i put tv shows in a few of the folders (just to be sure) and the folders all show up on tivo but none of the files in the folders show up. i thought maybe the naming was the issue so i renamed the one file david.mp4 which i'm assuming would be considered valid by tivo and/or plex since no special characters like sometimes files have. also the file plays thru plex on the web interface
i admit i have NO clue how any of this works between plex and tivo and i'm grasping at straws and looking at the manual there is really no documentation about this. but since the folders are visible on tivo i think i did most of this right. any idea why i cannot see any files?
in each folder i did click on the dlna option and its green if that matters
