I have Plex installed on my PC downstairs, and Plex installed on my Now TV box. It works brilliantly. There will be other methods, but you will need some app or device to channel it to your smart tv. I think you can get Plex on Amazon fire stick now.

Depending on which Samsung smart TV you have you should be able to play movies direct from your hard drive upstairs without Plex or anything else. Check whether your TV has DLNA if it has it should be quite straightforward streaming your movies.
