How do i watch movies from my computer on the minix?

I use Serviio on my PC and then you can stream using DLNA, I've found Video Lan to be the best on my Minix U9H to receive the video files simply because it doesn't beg you for money after you've used it a couple of times, also seems the most reliable, My whole house has wired for Ethernet so i'm connected hardwired at both ends, but WIFI should also work fine I guess
 
The least elegant method is to share the movies folder of the computer with the domestic network users and then access it with the ES File Explorer (-Network - LAN - "whatever name of the computer in the network" - "movies folder" - "movie file") and open the file with whatever player you chose to have in the Minix, the File Explorer shows the list for the available players for you to pick one up. My all time favorite is Minix Xbmc 16.3 (it also never begged me any money for the job :D).
