Multimedia with delete???

[ovbg]

Maybe I am going mad here, or maybe I wish a feature that no one else does, but I desperately wish a mediaplayer with the ability to delete the shows afterwards.

Essentially, I have been testing the media server on our NAS, and so far it seems to work great for playing video upstairs on our iPad (which we stream to our TV). I am also hoping with our new Samsung TV to arrive in a few days, that we could also stream directly to that with their own DLNA app if the video formats are supported.

All great, except, like on a PVR, when we have watched a show, we want to delete it.

But I can't seem to find out how to do this with the current iPad apps. Instead, I have to fireup the PC which is in another room, navigate to the folder where the videos are kept on the NAS, remember which was the episode that we watched (which is not always easy due to their filenames) and manually delete.

Surely there must be a more elegant way direct from the app.

I have tried the following Apps:
QMobile: Pretty good all up. Can navigate the folders with ease and plays the video fine. But no obvious way to delete a video once watched.
AirAV: Not as nice as QMobile, but works. A bit of a hassle to update files. But no way to delete on the iPad

Am I missing something, or do I need a better "paid" app for the iPad to have control like deleting?

I guess there is not a large range of Apps out there then that does this.

Am I missing something? As surely I would have imagined that this is a major feature which other people would want. Or am I completely looking at this the wrong way? How do other people manage their video files that they stream from their NAS? Do you all go back to a PC, log onto the NAS, and delete manually? Or have you found a more efficient way of knowing and controlling the media from in front of the television?

Most users are likley keep the music and video archive on a long term. Some demand for a delete option I could imagine from the users watching TV feeds.

Year, I guess that is the case.

I treat my collection like a PVR. I record shows which are stored on the NAS, and then I want to play them back on my TV.

It was suggested I try the Plex App for Samsung TV's as I plan to by from this brand, as that has a delete option. This is interesting as Plex also has a paid app for the iPad. I am wondering if the iPad version also has a delete option.

Just a pity my Plex test install on my iMac is making a mess of the QNAP library. I set up two librarys. One on the iMac and one on the NAS. The iMac local library has no problems. The NAS one works some of the time, but not at other times.
