Depends exactly how you want to use it, for example
- I have openmediavault runnig on the pi3 that acts as a general network file server. This can be used to access files from any networked device
- I have Kodi set up with tv headend connected to my tv to act as a recorder, player, connected to netflix etc. This can use files either from its own connected storage or the networked openmediavault server
Perhaps Plex on pi may be the option that you are looking for.
where inputs need to be put into the terminal, just copy and paste them from the installation guide. - I have openmediavault runnig on the pi3 that acts as a general network file server. This can be used to access files from any networked device

@allsop
I want to try and set up a Pi media server for the house (I think...), mainly because lockdown is draining and I'm bored of being tied to Spotify etc.
That said, I can't seem to find a decent tutorial for actually doing this. Everything I've seen either presumes an insane level of tech knowledge, or is simply "buy x".
Am I missing something out there? I'm happy to learn new things and put some effort in, but I'm drawing a blank so far. Any ideas?
