I’d like some streaming help please.

I’ve got a linux mint laptop, a windows pc, an nvidia shield and films that I’d like to watch from anywhere. Can you suggest a best way to do this, or any ‘best’ method that I can adopt?

I’ll add that I’m not great at Linux, and all these devices will be on sleep mode when I’m away from home (apart from my nvidia) - which I believe is always on.

If possible I’d like to keep costs down, but I’m open to learning some new stuff.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: tarted up text.

    I’m using Emby for that and loving it (even paying the premium). It’s free too for most features. If i got you right, you have your movies and a pc. Emby runs fine on linux/android/win. Setting up the server is child’s play on win (haven’t tried linux).

    If you dislike it and like to tinker more (coz u have to) : Jellyfin (same base as emby).

    Or you can pay and go the mainstream-route with plex.

    If that is what you’re looking for?
