This is the sort of use-case that the DLNA specification was intended for. It's not quite as simple as the author might want, but it is well supported. The TV can act as a Renderer for content pushed to it, or as a Player for content pulled from a Server.
All the smart TVs I've used implement this functionality.
VLC and Kodi support this too.
