i think you will find that it will actually be better using a MiniPC or MicroPC AIO with a decent GPU will blow the socks off a NAS
for a 1-3 user environment, mostly direct play without transcoding something like a newer HP ProDesk Elite Micro will do a good job because it has an intel UHD GPU which transcoding works very well with
of course, leaving the NAS in the mix to do it's job of serving files
the S in NAS is for Storage, not Server for good reason - they do 1 thing well which is serve files
i expect the coming responses will support my belief on the subject
