How is playing directly from a computer not a good option? All of my computers on my network are sharing all of their drives all the time and I just go on to other computers drives to get things and I double click them and they play on every computer on my network from Linux to Mac to Windows from H264, 65, vp9, av1... Anything.

Because you will lose out on things like dolby vision, even dolby atmos can be a pain in the ass to get working.

Can you even properly playback 4K HDR content from Linux? I don’t think so.

Format support on desktop platforms is awful.
