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.

    Second Emby. It’s a great Plex alternative.

    Jellyfin has also been fine.

      I switched from plex to jelly, but (at that time, it might be cooler now) it was horrible. Nothing really worked. Then gave emby a try and bougjt premium a week later. It just works. Has a webhook-support (for my smarthome) and whatnot. No crash, no hickup, no glitch. All just works.
