Rear screen entertainment options?

So i am wondering what are folks doing for playing video content on their rear screens besides the obvious DVD(can you even buy DVD's anymore)? I am looking to either mirror netflix, disney plus, Prime... youtube anything? Maybe from my phone, or anything else? I am not super knowledgeable about any of this, so please explain what you do as if explaining to a child. lol.

I've heard of people using a Roku stick, which looks like a USB stick but is a video source, not USB. It requires an internet source like your cell phone, and the service is a subscription. I've only used DVD's but it's nice that you are not locked into it going to all monitors, and all audio channels. Driver can listen to one thing, one passenger can watch TV, and the other can listen to something else. We have the BMW bluetooth wireless headphones, they wort well. My system gets used a lot by my kids.

Thats awesome. Would love to hear more from someone who actually uses the Roku stick with heir system. I wonder how straightforward it is, and if there are any restrictions (i heard netflix and some others are somehow blocked- but not sure how accurate that is).
