I'm dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.

Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.

Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.

Good luck.

Hi, on f-droid there's an app called Android Samba Client but I can't get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can't find a lot of documentation about it.

Have you seen this?

I'm hoping that it's not connecting because of something I'm doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).

If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn't seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.

Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it's using smb V2 to connect.

So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn't a pipe dream. It's now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.

So, I'll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.

Thanks again for taking the time.

I'm thinking maybe mount as you say using Xplore and bring in Syncthing to move the file across onto the server. Thanks for the idea.

Who gives a fucking shit about x fucking twitter? - let's hope it crashes along with reddit !

PS cross post all the good stuff onto lemmy first - then just let it burn and sink!

Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.

I'm currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it's not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the link - I'll definitely look into it.

I only ever lurked on Reddit and here on Lemmy I'm trying to be more of an active participant.

Same here, and now I'm soo glad that I jumped that ~~shit~~ ship.

and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.

Hi, could you please explain how you got this to happen? Thanks.

Interested myself as a usenet user.

Yeah it works well, it just reminds me too much of reddit is all.
