Any news on the tutorial? Thanks!

I will be very grateful for that! Yes is a Robbery! Even if i buy it from US and import it... i will be at least 80% more of the buying price !! I will try first with a DLNA server service on the server, if that does´t work i will use Plex, with a Notebook connected to the TV.

Can you give me a quick tutorial? A phone call? I prefer the "Free" options... Here in my country, Chromecast it's nearly u$s90! (Yeah it's a robery) so i'm out of budget after spending all the money on the "Server"... In you opinion, in my case of use, would you recomend using an Active Directory?

But im looking for something simple, because the users (My family xD) does't know nearly anything of Technology... However, I appreciate your idea!

Many thanks for the comment! I appreciate the time you took to respond my question! unRAID: For some reason this OS doesn't make me feel comfortable, IDK why... But i keep it as a valid choice. Windows: I think, for me, will be the best option... because i'm used to it and is very familiar.. and the Active Directory is very very usefull! But i will need to migrate all the accounts. Because if the server fails... Will i be able to access the PCs with the accounts?? FreeNAS: It strongly recommends INTEL CPU's... I think with my hardware it will be a problem... What do you think? Will i be able to access with my Smart TV's? In some of them i am not able to install other apps, besides of the stock apps... I think something like DLNA, maybe? So, there is no option for, IDK, like an IP based permissions...? So the best option still Windows Server 2016... For compatibility with my other PC's. Another question... How i can be able to access to the shares with my mobile (iOS/Android) devices? Again, Many Thanks!

Hi Everyone! Here is a "short" introduction of what i already have for mi Server. ************************* INTRODUCTION ************************* 1- Sorry for my English, it's not my native language! 2- I have already bought and asembled the Hardware of my Server, here it's the parts list: Motherboard + CPU: Biostar A68n-5545 + AMD A8-5545 Quad Core (Base 1.7Ghz - Turbo 2.7Ghz). RAM: 2x Hyper X Fury 8Gb 1866Mhz (I know it's overkill but i had them for free). CASE: Riotoro Cr280 Mini Itx. HDD: 3x WD Red 4Tb & 1x WD Blue 1Tb. PSU: Thermaltake Tr2 500 500w. 3- I already had this OS's available for use: Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. Windows Server 2016 Essentials. Windows 10 (Multiple Editions). Windows Server 2016 Nano. Ubuntu (All Versions). UnRaid. 4- Devices to connect: 4 Smartphones (1 iPhone 6s Plus and 3 Android Devices) 2 Tablets (1 iPad Mini 2 + Xperia Tablet Z2) 3 Smart TV's (All Samsung) 5 PC (3 Notebooks + 2 Desktop) ************************* WHAT I NEED TO ACHIEVE ************************* I need a File Sharing Server over my LAN and a Multi Media Streaming Server. Easy Right? ... But No...At lease for my! The thing is... I want to Stream movies to my Smart TV's & Tablets and share files with all my other devices, but i want the ability to choose who can see and/or edit those files (Not the movies, i don't care about movies). I don't want to make a Domain Controller and create or migrate all user acounts to an Active Directory. This, unfortunately, is not an option. TL;DR: No Domain Controller with Active Directory. Ability to choose the level of access of the files. Ability to Stream Movies to my Smart TV's. No login required in any device. If Someone can help my with some ideas or solutions i would appreciate so much! Question -> How give permissions to users BY FILE, without creating a Domain Controller/Active Directory? Thanks!
