  • Moving files from one machine to another is pretty easy if you just want a shared drive. Getting one of those working on an old windows box is super easy, and linux isn’t far behind.

    You said you have a good drive and a laptop. The first thing to do is go into the power setting sand stop is from turning off them it goes to sleep. The next thing I would do is install software to remote control it. Teamviewer is a good option, although personally I currently use Parsec for my personal PC remote control needs

    Now that you have closed up secretly running laptop you can remote control, set up a shared folder (see above link) and put some stuff in it. I can share links to help you “find content” if you want, but learning how to pirate is it’s own post

    Follow this guide to get a Jellyfin server running on the laptop, download the app onto your phone and log in.

    You should now be able to see media from the folder on your laptop on your phone, and also be able to watch it.
