If your TV has a USB port you can just plug in a USBstick or external drive.

Or connect a laptop or something via HDMI cable to the tv

Or you can go the full server route with jellyfin and stream to a pi connected to the tv

Thankfully this was discovered before hitting stable distros but I'm hoping it increases scrutiny across the board. We dodged a bullet on this one.
