My Sony smart TV can stream video from networked devices such as NAS and PCs and from the net. There's a network connection wizard to set it up and then it uses the built in media player.
Have a look at the relevent attached pages from my Sony's i-Manual. Yours should have something similar. The second page has something in the notes at the bottom of the page about server compliance.
