Years ago, I ran a universal media server that my PS3 interacted with fine. Granted, the UI was a bit clunky (folder and file based) but it worked. I haven't locally hosted any media in a while. Does the PS5 no longer support this type of solution?
I can't speak toward all the options out there but when I added someone to my emby server and they asked if there was a playstation app, I looked into if one was available. From what I recall finding on the emby forums, Sony was basically just not responding to their expressed interest to make a client app for the platform(s). This applied to PS4/5 though, not 3
In the case of the universal media server there wasn't a need for an app. The PS3 found it on the network and it showed up under the media UI thing.
