note to self:
self, remember to clean out the macos dot file droppings before moving directories to the file server to be served by minidlna. minidlna chokes on macos dot droppings, apparently.

This new setup will be much more power efficient, quieter, and will give me streaming ability (Roku Channel and YT mainly, as well as some other freebies - I'm too cheap to pay for commercial streamers! 😂 ) plus access to my own LAN media library on one device, controlled by one remote.
I genuinely like having the Roku voice remote with its headphone jack; I'd always had problems hearing conversations on TV shows without turning the volume up to disruptively loud levels. 🎧
Sunday is a day of migration...
I'm going from having an old Core2 era Pentium Dualcore PC as an HTPC to having a Roku Ultra LT take over.
The Roku is going to be fed from a miniDLNA server on my LAN, provided right on my OMV fileserver box.
(While I like having dlna/upnp servers that can thumbnail videos, minidlna serves enough other bases and is simple enough to where ease of use outweighs that disadvantage.)
