      So when you use Spotify and Netflix, what your doing is streaming from their computers, which costs money hence why they charge you monthly.

      They also add profit and licensing costs and all that to it so it adds up.

      But what if, you used your own computer?

      Very easy to do using just your wifi, some more complexity if you want to steam over the internet.

        I feel the need to tell people do not try and stream it outside your network if you do not understand what you are doing.

        Within your own network, you’re fine

        What does that mean “use my own computer”? Do I need to have all the media files on my computer then? Where would I get those from?
