Linux server with Samba share. I used this setup with XBMC/Kodi for many years. Recently switched to Infuse on the AppleTV 4K without changing a single thing with the Samba setup.

Ha! I use precisely this setup for my media needs: Kodi runs on an Odroid-XU4 SBC hooked up to a wired gigabit Ethernet LAN and my Big Display Device (the one with the ATSC tuner) and my server is my laptop. I even created some hinky shell scripts to play arbitrary video files:

I have the YouTube plugin so I can do things like

    kodi-play $YOUTUBE_URL
or

    kodi-play -y $YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID
(When I was doing research on this project, it was kinda frustrating how many websites assumed I'd be making the SBC the server.)
