   I don't know what I'm doing so that's why I'm asking the question.   
      
   I can easily download movies (don't ask how if you're going to preach).   
      
   My sister wants to stream some movies on her phone that I download.   
   She lives two states away so I have to put it on my router USB.   
      
   If she was technical, she could download it onto your mac & play it.   
   But she doesn't want to do that (it's a company mac she uses).   
      
   But she has an iPhone 14, which is what she uses to stream movies.   
      
   Given a typical 1080p movie is about 2GB, downloading onto her phone is   
   problematic for her (plus she's not technical so it has to be easy).   
      
   She wants to stream it instead.   
      
   It's easy to put the movie onto the router USB stick and that makes the   
   entire 2GB available to her for downloading, but can she stream it?   
      
   I guess the test is whether I can stream it on my own network, right?   
   How do you test "stream" a movie that you have access to on your LAN?   
      
   What software does that streaming (to simulate what she'll need to do)?   
      
   I have VLC and MPC-BE freeware but that "plays" the full movie.   
   How would I stream a movie on Windows to test it out for her iPhone?
