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.

Edit: tarted up text.

    I’ve used Plex to run a media server from my home in the past, been a few years though. I believe you can still do that with the free version. Then you just need to set up Plex to wake on LAN so the computer you’re using for the media server will wake up when you want to watch something. This does require that the device is hardwired as WiFi doesn’t offer wake options.
