How can i share via ubuntu. LG webos based on linux. it's funny we dont have share screen using ubuntu desktop. How can share my ubuntu desktop via lg webos?

Hi, I'd like to easily stream/cast some movie files (.mkv, .mp4 etc...) on my Ubuntu 21.04 PC to a LG Smart TV having WebOS 4.9.x. Both TV and PC are connected on the same LAN network via ethernet cable! My router does not provide any UPnP feature! I tried to use (with no success): - Kodi - enabled UPnP/DLNA and shared my library, then right clicked on a movie and ran "Play using", selected "TV" but I was not able to see anything on my LG TV (i went to Movies and Photos and did not see any remote device or other stuff) (does this method nroamlly work? Maybe there is something wrong with my Kodi / Router configuration? What screen do I have to access on the LG TV to see the DLNA devices?) - Integrated Ubuntu "Media Sharing" (see https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/04/home-media-server-ubuntu-2004/) - same as above, I could not see any device from the TV when this option is enabled - VLC UPnP feature - same as above What options do I have, without buying any additional device like Chromecast, Raspberry PI etc...?

OK . here is what worked for me. - connect to internet through mobile hotspot. - do the app installation/update/activation/ whatever with this connection. - make sure that apps are working - reconnect wifi and check whether thet apps are working i'm sure its something to do with firewall settings. rather than messing with router settings, this is straight forward and simple!
