Don't forget to disconnect that "smart" TV from the internet! It usually works for me to tell it to use a LAN connection and disconnect the LAN cable

Network attached storage. A computer that hosts files, media in this case. You can roll your own or buy one, and they often have other server features.

I have a ~$100 tiny form factor dell computer attached to my TV. It was probably used in an office for 5 years before I got it from the dell outlet.

I installed Linux Mint and plugged it into my TV with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It was a painless experience and it works beautifully.
