I have a couple of Amazon Fire TVs running kodi and a share on a PC that has the media files i want to stream.

Works like a dream.
The sticks also have the usual apps for various platforms.
Amazon seem to support their devices for quite a while.
The AFTV 4k version is sometimes down as low as $50 from memory. Hard to go wrong really.

CokemonZ: That's a stunning price. Any chance of a hookup?

Haha unfortunately not, it was a one time deal and could only get one at that price.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

I have just got a Beelink SEi12 unit to use as our server. :)
i5-12450H, 500GB NVMe & 16GB RAM.
I also put in a 1TB 2.5" SSD that I had here doing nothing.

[...]

I also got one of these from Amazon: Amazon.com: Yottamaster 5 Bay 2.5 & 3.5 Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure, 6Gbps USB C HDD/SSD Enclosure with Fan, Up to 80TB(5x16TB) Direct Attached Storage (DAS) for Data Backup NAS Expansion [PS500C3] : Automotive

That's a very similar setup to mine, except I have a slightly older generation SFF i5 PC that I acquired cheaply second hand, and am using a NASes attached over ethernet rather than direct-attached USB enclosures.

I'm also using Jellyfin as the software package to manage my media, and Chromecasts and a Roku Ultra on TVs for playback. It works great, and is a hit with the family.

Nice yea! Good informaiton here.
