We have an old desktop that’s usually turned on for one reason or another. The easiest thing for us was to make the D:\ drive visible on wifi, put all the media on the D:\ drive, and stick VLC on everyone’s Roku/FireTV sticks. That way we didn’t have to manually add new things to specific drives or worry about which TV’s could watch which shows or accidentally run out of space on a thumb drive.
