Tiny wireless media server

This DIY portable media server for a road trip looks like a comic book bomb. It could use a cheap plastic case.

Not bad for a $12 Pi Zero, 512GB card, and a 5k mAh battery that lasts for over 8 hours. It creates its own hotspot that serves media over DLNA.

Also has a bunch of music- trying to figure a quick and dirty way to auto-pull new podcast episodes/tv shows on when it is on wifi elsewhere, but that’s for later.

Maybe 50 movies on there, not  even 1/4 full.

Streamed 4 different movies to 4 devices without a hiccup.

Heres a how to, it went very smoothly.
