The TS-269L has served people well, but it is definitely time for an upgrade. For your use case — movies, photos, documents and basic media serving — you do not need anything extreme, but you will benefit from a more modern CPU, better security updates and faster SMB performance.
With your AU$1000 budget, these are the best replacements:
QNAP TS-262 or TS-264
A direct, modern successor to what you already use.
Faster CPU, much better UI, better photo handling, and excellent SMB speeds.
Fully supports Twonky, Plex, and DLNA.
Quiet, low power, and a perfect home replacement for your TS-269L.
