Enjoy! Please try the app Infuse next to enjoy movies from your own collections

Can I add movies from my iPhone to infuse directly? Instead of creating a NAS server with my router

Above Reddit thread had the same question.
Guess you can use Airplay from your iPhone to the Apple TV but I guess this is not the most optimal situation (also quality wise).
Also someone mentioned to host a FTP server on your phone so that you can connect from the Apple TV .. Guess very cumbersome because the FTP app has to have access to the files on the phone.
Infuse shines the most (at least for me) when using a NAS (wired) with SMB shares hosting full UHD movies.
