If I want to stream locally to multiple platforms what is best software to use? - eviltoast

I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn’t that important. Just want something convenient.

    My setup is ghetto AF. I just run a Linux server with a minidlna service and samba running.

    Any browser on my network can access //server and see my collection of videos.

    To be clear, this meets your requirements 😎

    I use vlc on my phone, my tv can browse it all natively, my gf can access it on her iphone. This server is part of my windows NAS.

    (In case anyone is wondering, every time my main PC is idle for 20 mins it runs a sync between the server and a backup drive I have attached to my main PC, so it’s all duplicated for a hot-swap whenever I need. It’s amazing how low tech and resilient my setup is)
