With FileBrowserGOs media player you can watch or listen to your media files on your iPad/iPhone or Chromecast / Airplay to your TV or smart speakers.
Challenge: my old WD iCloud storage device became obsolete due to being discontinued.. Did not want to spend the $$ to upgrade to the latest device.. Instead decided to use an old USB storage device I had and connected it to the router to store files that we could all share (photos, docs, videos etc) from our Apple devices. Router supported SMB but challenge was getting the iPad to recognise USB storage via SMB.. big fail .. Im sure it was user error... Success: After trawling App Store for hours stumbled across FileBrowserGo, amazingly simple to configure, in less than a couple of minutes had it accessing my USB storage and we were viewing/uploading all our photos etc in a single location via our individual Apple devices.. Made my day, such small things 8-).
