Last night I finally wanted to test my own media center on my Smart TV at home with my family. I recently bought Jellyfin an open source software server solution to get a Netflix-like web interface and play series and movies on it. The special thing is that the server can also run on my Windows laptop and you can watch the individual episodes conveniently via the interface. Of course, you can also search for the individual video files in the Windows file manager, but a Netflix-like interface is somehow more convenient.
But it's not that easy to get this streaming experience out of your own laptop and even for me as an IT specialist, it's questionable why it has to be so difficult to stream.
