My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but…how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows VM because for what I know Netflix only plays 4K videos with Edge. Thanks!

    I assume you have some kind of smart TV. What kind? It may be possible to simply browse the media server from the TV, or use an app there.

      I do, but I also need to watch Netflix from the PC (because of the IP lock of the Netflix family account policy)

        Maybe you can host privoxy and set it on the TV or its apps. Btw, you can also get 4k video with Linux…
