Using Kodi in my tv box and setup SMB to a shared folder on my Windows laptop. It was an easy setup and pretty frictionless later. I usually still use VLC to get the subtitles upfront saved with the same filename as the video file. Whatever I get in my laptop I can see in the TV later. Chromecast is also an option, not sure if there's some quality loss in that case.
