I have a NAS box at home, and playback via Kodi on an NVidia Shield TV. 
Unfortunately, it's about the only decent small device that does network h.265
@ 4K decently.  I also have a couple fire sticks and chromecasts.  Really wish
the shield tv was better supported by third party apps though.

Aside: DM, really like the enhanced support for telnet/ssh from a regular
terminal, though the backspace/delete keys on mac (iterm) seem a bit off. 
Switching to Linux in a couple months when I do a new build anyway.
