Could you build this?
Partial The UI and playback are doable on Apple platforms, but direct SMB/WebDAV streaming with hardware decoding and embedded subtitle support for arbitrary codecs and containers needs low-level media and networking work.
What it would actually take: Use AVFoundation for hardware-accelerated playback, and add a network layer for SMB and WebDAV, which may need a custom or third-party library since iOS lacks native SMB support. The hard parts are demuxing MKV and other containers, extracting and rendering embedded ASS/PGS subtitles, and handling codecs AVFoundation lacks. That requires media-pipeline expertise with FFmpeg and Apple's media stack.
