[subisisniki]

hi there,

i bought a asus rt-ac56u. im also using its USB function to connect to a harddisk.

on pc:
i am able to access my harddisk as though its a drive via the network

on android tablet: using the app to view movies on mxplayer

on apple ipad:
either i buy a media player software or download the file first and then watching it on my media player

on mba:
doesnt show as a drive. have to access via ftp. even so, i have to download the file first and unable to stream it

pls help on how i can view movies via streaming and not downloading to my local drive.

any help appreciated
