I’ll be honest, there’s some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.
If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do–it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.
I’ve honestly given that some serious thought. A mini pc or laptop as a dedicated media server or streaming device wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.
