I have to find the time to do it, I had seen jellyfin as a solution, but I also have to find something that acts as a server, my raspberry pi 3B+ is not powerful enough for 1080p+ streaming

If you parents have a standard TV stick or Apple TV their devices support a variety of codecs.

This means that you can "direct stream" content from Plex / Jellyfin with minimal CPU impact.

At 1080p it should at least support ~4 direct streams when it doesn't have to "transcode".

That said, even if it is weak by today's standards it's a good platform to learn the setup on. Then you can move to something else more powerful (but still cheap) once you understand it all.

At least that's how I did it, 3b+ -> Pentium J5040

Personally I bought a used office PC (with 8 GB of RAM and Intel i5 6th generation) on eBay for less than 100 €. It works really great!

yes, but singleboard computers take up less space, make less noise and have almost non-existent energy consumption
