I did this for ages. It sucks. Maintenance, broken things all the time, bugs, ugh. I just torrent stuff on my Mac now and use a USB stick to ship it to my dumb TV.

Dumb TV can play video from USB? That's pretty smart. The Mac can't act as a mass storage device for the TV? That's a shame.

  That’s all it can do. Has no internet connection on it. I don’t want the two to meet. That’s where the hell starts. I use this because the HDCP implementation on the TV is broken so it won’t play anything with any streaming boxes. I’m not throwing a perfectly good TV in the trash because of a copyright restriction.

Check out minidlna. Run on Mac and browse folders in Roku Player

  That’s two more layers of things I don’t want to deal with. No networks, no servers, no clients!
