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.

      They’re also really trying hard to pivot to making users the product and to also sell a bunch of junk no one wants (like revealing everything you watch to all your friends). And pushing their ad-laden video stuff.

      I also run Emby in parallel which is just the streaming video and that’s it. Also as someone else mentioned, Jellyfin.
