Nowadays, more and more people use FreeNAS Mini to build a home sever of themselves. FreeNAS Mini, has shifted from a convenience--a place to store files that can access anywhere -- to a necessity. However, when people directly backup or full copy their hundreds of 2D/3D Blu-ray movies to FreeNAS Mini for management and storage, they find that they can not play movies stored in FreeNAS Mini on TV via Android TV. So, I want to tell you an easy way to play 2D/3D Blu-ray on Android TV via FreeNAS Mini in this article.

Before telling you the way, let’s find out why you can not play 2D/3D Blu-ray on Android TV via FreeNAS Mini. Android TV box can support MP4, MKV, WMV format etc, while, the video formats directly backed up or full copied from 2D/3D Blu-ray discs are BDMV and M2TS formats, which are not in the list. So, you have to rip Blu-ray to Android TV box compatible format firstly, and then transfer the 2D/3D Blu-ray rips to your FreeNAS Mini. After that, you can play 2D/3D Blu-ray on Android TV via FreeNAS Mini.

To rip 2D/3D Blu-ray discs, you will need a Blu-ray ripper. Though there are many Blu-ray ripping tool on the Internet(Top 5 Blu-ray Ripper), it is still hard for you to choose the right program which is suitable for you.
