When NAS storage is enabled, uploaded files go directly to the NAS share
(users/{username}/videos/{title-slug}/) with no permanent local copy kept.
Thumbnails and video are fetched from NAS on demand for streaming/playback.
When NAS is disabled, files are organised into the same directory schema
in local storage.
- VideoController: branch upload flow on NAS enabled/disabled
- NasSyncService: add uploadDirectToNas() for direct NAS writes,
organizeLocalFiles() for local NAS-schema, localVideoDir() resolver,
deleteLocalAssets() for post-sync cleanup
- GenerateHlsJob: download from NAS via ensureLocalCopy() when local
file is absent (NAS-primary mode); clean up temp after HLS generation
- CompressVideoJob: place compressed file alongside original (any dir)
- Video/VideoSlide models: localVideoPath(), localThumbnailPath(),
thumbnailStorageKey(), localPath(), storageKey() helpers for
format-agnostic path resolution (old flat paths + new NAS-schema paths)
- MediaController: serve thumbnails from NAS-mirrored paths with NAS fallback
- SuperAdminController: use model path helpers for file deletion
- NasFreeLocalStorage: scan new users/ tree in addition to legacy flat dirs
- Settings: rename "NAS Storage Sync" tab to "NAS Storage", update description

When NAS sync is enabled:
- Audio uploads: pushed to NAS via NasSyncVideoJob, local file deleted immediately after
- Video uploads: processed locally (ffprobe, compress, HLS), then at the end of
GenerateHlsJob the final compressed file is re-synced to NAS and the local copy removed
- stream() and download(): if local file is missing, pull from NAS into a local
stream cache (storage/app/nas_cache/videos/) and serve from there with full
byte-range support — so seeking still works over NAS-sourced files
When NAS is disabled:
- Upload, stream, and download all use local storage exclusively (no change)
HLS segments are intentionally kept local: they are small, generated on-demand,
and serving them via per-segment SMB round-trips would hurt playback performance.
