I guess I don't understand why remote access is such a popular use case. Throw some shit on your phone, h/d, or thumbdrive and you're good for a few hours. I crammed 4 full seasons of STNG on my phone recently.

Because I have friends and family that want access to some of the media I host. It's a lot easier if I can just give them access and have it just work and whatever device they want to use.

Ah, so you have friends and family! That is a blessing, and I know that from distant experience.
