And where do I put that media server? How do I power it? Why do I want
the hassle of another computer? It might only be a few watts, but when
I'm relying on a 100W solar panel for EVERYTHING, its watts I don't want
to spend.
And anyway, I'm not trying to turn a tv with a proprietary OS into a
media server. First off, the tv is running linux, and secondly all I am
(and want to) doing is putting media files on a USB stick attached to
the tv. Which is standard behaviour pretty much encouraged by all smart tvs!
So the SIMPLEST solution is just sneakernet - disconnect the usb, plug
it into the laptop and copy the files, disconnect it again and plug it
back into the tv.
All I want to do is avoid the hassle (and possible damage) of having to
repeatedly unplug and replug the USB.
If I *HAD* to do something like you suggest, I'd stick a pi in one of
those cases you screw into the back of a tv, and just use the tv to
display the pi screen. But that's more hassle than I want, as opposed to
just putting a samba server or similar as an app on the tv.
Cheers,
Wol
