If you want to see anything on a 'dumb' TV, at some point there's going to be an HDMI cord involved. Sounds like OP wants his old computer to be both a home server and an HTPC. Personally, I'd just run qemu or docker on the HTPC, but there's no reason he can't run both plex and libreelec/kodi as vms or containers on the same machine.
I get all that, and I wasn’t trying to suggest HDMI cords are useless. I just got the feeling that there was a cleaner way to accomplish what OP was trying to do since there were scant details about the end result in the post.
I ran a computer directly to the television for years before switching to PLEX and an Apple TV, hence the suggestion—the user experience increased so significantly that I would never go back.
