AnExplorer manages the file system. Use the Bravia's built-in media player or a third-party player (VLC, Kodi) to play the files that AnExplorer helps you organise.

Can I use AnExplorer to access my Sony NAS (VAIO Smart TV)?
Yes — connect via SMB or DLNA/FTP from AnExplorer's Network section.

My Bravia doesn't show AnExplorer in the Play Store — why?
Some older Bravia models have limited Play Store access. Try sideloading AnExplorer APK via the Downloader app. See the installation guide.
