Jellyfin is very versatile but a bit clunky. I have it set up for my parents on their Roku and it works well enough for them. I set it up for other family members on their WebOS TV but they don't really use it. I used to use it with Roku as well, but had issues with some captions, Dolby Atmos and HDR. I finally broke down and got an Nvidia shield, which fixed all my problems since the developers focus on Android TV the most. I also have Plex, and it is easier to set up, looks more polished, but is less versatile.

It's been pretty good after I got it working. Configuring Nginx reverse proxy took a bit to figure out since I had to forward the port internal to the docker network. But after that it was easy to configure everything.

I started hosting audiobookshelf since Jellyfin was pretty clunky for audiobooks.

Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.

I use Tiny media manager to get tv show episode and movie info like fan art, actors and show synopsis and organize my movies, shows, music and audiobooks I get from CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays and downloads. Sonarr and Radarr only snatch files from torrents, and not the rest of the info that is needed for offline mode

Thanks for this. I was looking to get away from iplant and Google lens.

For me docker runs my software in independent containers like jellyfin. For me it helps with migrating the software to different computers, operating systems and os upgrades without completely having to reconfigure the software each time.

Not sure about the fuck docker comment. I'm always open to alternatives, not everyone has the same software needs.

I've been debating on trying out offense instead of OpenWrt. My server has a dual NIC with one interface going to my modem the other to a wireless access point. Openwrt is a bit clunky as I have to boot it in Virtual box. Any difference between PFsense and opensense?

I always get hungry when I play pixel dungeon! What an addictive grind!

Adding the following that i have not seen mentioned yet:

Docker - I literally run most of my server programs with docker now. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and many others.

Tiny Media Manager that I use to scraper and organize my media library

Tiny Tiny RSS to combine my news sites into one aggregator. I actually saw this post on it since Lemmy has RSS feeds!

Openwrt I run as my home router.

I2P but it's still pretty clunky.

Nomachine I use as a remote desktop client.

RocketDock I still use on my windows desktop after windows removed the programs toolbar.

ImageJ/Fiji I use for image processing, it's from the NIH, with a bunch of Java plugins.

Gluetun I use to run my vpn client

Kodi for multimedia

Syncthing is awesome for home devices backups like phone pictures and videos and computer documents that can be version controlled. I also use Local Send app to share files between phones and computers in the house.

Jellyfin is awesome, I also use it to serve my music and audio books. It's a bit more quirky than plex but I like that it's not tied to some company server in any way.
