You could run jellyfin on your desktop and use that to stream shows to your tablet. Or VLC works for connecting to network file shares and you could play from that.
I do both. Jellyfin is way better if you put in the work of having a good folder structure and file names for metadata to scrape.
VLC is good for weird file types or non-video media. If you want to have a stash of reaction gifs in a playlist, I don't know if JellyFin has any way to do that. Or if you want the tablet to display a random slideshow of pictures, like a diy digital picture frame. Also it's easier to use if you don't have good file names and metadata scraping.
