Raspberry PI4 as NAS and media player

Hello! I was wondering if someone might have some suggestions or advice. I want to use my raspberry pi 4 as a NAS as well as it being able to play videos itself. I've added a schematic of the situation. It would be great if I could put videos from my pcs and laptop to the External SSD making it able to play those files directly from the pi to the projector, but also my samsung tv to be able to play video files from the SSD attached to the Pi. I know that last thing is possible, because I've had it working before, by setting up a specific kind of NAS that the smart tv read as a media source, but I don't know if I can also add the possiblity for the pi to just be used as a media player and play the files from the external ssd attached to it. Preferably also while controlling the pi's media player by either the PC or my smart phone. Hope my question is clear 🙂 Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

<@796000224690307072> does that also support HBO Max and Netflix for example?

Don't ping!

I think that info is available on their site.
