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.

Free version doesn’t allow gpu for transcoding.

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.
