Can the VOD button be used for local files?

My IPTV offers no VOD but I have TV shows stored locally on a USB drive. Is there a way to access that folder on the USB drive using the VOD button on the home screen?

The VOD  is designed to stream content from a remote service, so I really doubt that the VOD service itself can do that (at least not in it's current form - at least not simply).   But you can always use a 3rd party app on the box.  Anything like Kodi, VLC, Solid Explorer, MX Player, (even Plex I believe can play local media), etc. Can certainly play any of the files you have on the drive.

Yeah, I thought of those options. I was thinking my setup would be more streamlined using the VOD feature. Maybe a consideration for future updates?
