How to run a movie on a TV in the kitchen from a hard drive in the room?

Question

WiFi

How, without pulling a twisted pair or HDMI cable, is it the easiest way to watch a movie on a TV in the kitchen from a hard drive in the room?
Now this is solved by transferring the movie to a flash drive. But the MTS-ovskaya TV set-top box does not pull all codecs and the choice of a movie becomes a torment.

Answer 1

Options for a wagon and a small cart:
the most versatile is the android tv box,
for cheaper - all sorts of chrome-, mira-cast dongles,
set-top boxes with dlna or samba support.
But WI-FI technology itself is not stable with no guaranteed bandwidth, so the best option is to buy a set-top box with an ethernet port, so that in the future, when repairing, all the same, switch to a wire, or try to look for 5 GHz solutions.

Answer 2

You can use DLNA , though in this version everything depends on the capabilities of the TV (support for codecs, etc.)

Answer 3

Buy a waffle attachment. But the quality will depend on many factors.
