    It’s really satisfying having someone to share your collection with. I moved in with my now-fiancée late last year and it’s so fun watching it grow to suit us both. Currently still using Plex since there isn’t a Jellyfin client for the Xbox One and we have yet to get a Shield or something else superior to it, and I don’t feel like figuring out the networking side of things until we’re at our next apartment.

      Ditto. I started my Plex server about 11-12ish years ago for myself and my wife. Nowadays we’re sharing 30TB to almost 20 of our combined friends and none of em pay for subscriptions anymore lmao.

    Jellyfin? What is that, some computer based television network you populate and schedule yourself? Because I totally would want that. That would rule.

      It’s a FOSS alternative to Plex, if you’re familiar with that. Less like a tv channel, more like a streaming service you populate yourself.

        As a long time Plex uset who loves the ease of use of Plex, is it for me? Also there probably aren’t apps on that many devices? My main concern is Android TV and the Tizen thing by Samsung.

          The advantages ofjellyfin are mainly its open source nature, and lack of needing to pay to unlock features such as downloads. It may be a little more effort to set up but still isn’t too difficult. Once set up, it works pretty much flawlessly, except for the occasional hiccup which can be resolved pretty easily.

          It has an official app available for android TV, which is in the store, and as for Tizen OS, there is an official app (on their github), however it is somewhat more difficult to install from what i’ve seen.

          If you want to check availability, there is a list of clients at https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients/all/

            yeah, i switched over to jellyfin from plex after i hit a paywall on plex. They wanted me to pay to watch my 4k mission impossible (1996) movie. Afterwards, i’m like “fuck nah,” literally the reason why i torrent was to not pay for shizzle

      Unsure if your asking seriously (if not, whooosh to me), but it’s an open source alternative to Plex.

      Plex is a media server that you run to host your TV shows and movies. Think of a self-hosted Netflix.

    When the time comes for them to watch, they have their own version of our favorites - remake or remastered, adaptations or whole different series.

    Now the collection is for the dads’ nostalgia.

    I have a small 1tb collection …love jellyfin and it’s UI but I miss kodi when it comes to scrapping metadata and playing all formats …I use jellyfin mostly because of its ui and because my crappy TV can’t handle kodi very well
