What's the best way to stream my files to my devices whem I'm away from home? (lemm.ee)

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.

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?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

It is. I switched after many years of plex because they started to annoy me. It was a long while ago and zero issues since. Big community and if you're stuck (which u won't) you'd get help there
