My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but…how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows VM because for what I know Netflix only plays 4K videos with Edge. Thanks!
Didn’t you answer your own question? You need a windows vm, so install windows in a vm and connect your TV to it.
You might need to do a gpu passthrough for the hdmi cable to reach the windows vm video out.
Also, fair warning, controlling Netflix in a browser is probably impossible with your TV remote, so you’d need a mouse and keyboard. An android/google-TV box like the nvidia shield is much more user friendly in that regard.

The problem is to access the GUI of that VM. From the graphic card of the server there is just the CLI

Yes, I know, that’s why I’ll use a USB extender, to connect keyboard and mouse.
