media server
Home entertainment distributor
A media server is a computer or dedicated device that stores and streams digital content—music, videos, photos—to other devices on a network.
Home media servers let you access your library from any room; commercial ones power streaming services.
The term covers both the hardware and the software that manages and distributes the content.
