DIY Netflix and Spotify in one. You need hardware to run it on. So a computer and storage for the media. You could try it on any computer. For real use, a dedicated machine (doesn’t have to be expensive) is ideal. For example, I have a ThinkCentre 715q with 4 disks attached to it in a cardboard box running it. You can watch and listen to your stuff from anywhere. Your phone, laptop, desktop, smart TV, Chromecast, etc.
I run it on a Synology Diskstation for plenty of storage and enough “oomph” for transcoding all in one gizmo. That also paired up nicely with an HD Homerun network TV tuner running up to an attic antenna to add local broadcast channels. It does a great job wrapping that with a cable-style menu and DVR.
