I have a server that runs a bunch of containers (bittorrent client on a VPN, Home Assistant, etc.) and hosts SMB shares. I acquire content that goes on the shares which then get consumed by various devices.

- Kodi on a TV that has been stripped of as much of Google as I could find, streams from the shares

- VLC on my PC, streams from the shares

- VLC on my phone which is always VPN'd to my local network and streams from the shares

- VLC on iPads on which I usually drag and drop some shows/movies ahead of time so I am not wifi-dependent
