An Rpi with f.e. Kodi can do the job fine as well. Simply export your media folders through NFS, mount it in Kodi. Works fine here. And is a fairly cheap solution.
netflix is only available through browser, not as video file, so why we have to export a firefox (or chrome) windows
No, his answer is about my side question: how to view video files stored on my computer, on my sitting room main TV set.
RPI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
That's an interesting idea, but I would have to learn how setup an RPI, which I don't. Thus the idea of doing it on a ready bought device that converts a TV into an Android seems interesting, if I can eexport the videos in a form that Android likes.
However, if you (Knurpht) can point me to a howto to read about how to setup an RPI with kodi from scratch, I would look into it :-)
I currently use a Cubi N minicomputer with openSUSE as home server and media center on my computer room, running openSUSE. Complete with wireless mini keyboard - but I don't feel inclined to repeat the setup on the sitting room.
Thus, it can display streaming videos on it. I think I can see Amazon Prime videos, but I don't have a Netflix account to try.

Carlos, there are ready made instructions for all kinds of Kodi images. Incl. updaters etc. openSUSE (at least TW) even has the package osmcinstaller which downloads an image and prepares a MicroSD card, The rest is putting the card in the Pi, connect and boot it and you're up and running. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
