DS Video on Apple TV

Hi All,


I have a 3rd gen Apple TV.


I want to use the DS Video app available in the app store on my Apple TV to stream videos from my NAS to my TV.


Can DS Video be installed on the Apple TV? I cannot find Apple Store on the Apple TV to search for the app.


The DS Video app is installed on my iphone.


Rgrds,

The Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier) does not have access to an App Store, and does not allow the user to add apps to it in any way.

To install tvOS apps from the Apple TV App Store, you would need an Apple TV (4th generation or later).

The Apple TV App Store is independent of the iPhone App Store. App can be available for one of these platforms and not for the other. However, DS video has made an app for Apple TV (4th generation or later).
