I have a RaspberryPi headless NAS server running Samba that I use as my movie storage. For now I watch movies from NAS on external monitor connected to my laptop. I would like to cut the laptop and watch movies directly on TV using only TV remote control.
- Is there any television that is able to connect to Samba server and play mpeg movies with .srt subtitles?
- If not, what other protocol should I install on RaspberryPi and use to watch movies on TV?
MORE Information: My RaspberryPi with attached HDD is located in the basement (HDD noise + lack of space) and connected to the Wi-Fi router via RJ-45 Ethernet cable. So I cannot make a RaspberryPi --- HDMI cable --- TV connection.
