Jellyfin's an awesome open source home media server. I'll show you how I use it to organize my movies and TV shows.Part 1 (how I rip media to my computer) he...
Jellyfin is on the LG OS store, so if your home theater has an LG TV, it’s phenomenal. I can’t recommend getting the high end LG TVs enough if you’re self hosting. Between Swiftfin on an iPad if you’re quietly in bed, or LG in the home theater, they’re all native platform apps and slay. No need from browser otherwise.
The LG app is jellyfin TV, right? It gives me issues with some formats, the video player is kinda crap honestly, if you try to forward or go back in the video it freezes for some seconds, zero buffering, and the UI is kinda ugly. I use another video payer as a proxy and that solves the ui and some formats, but it still complain on some others and the buffering issue is still there for some reason.
This is quite weird since the android app, which supposedly is just the Web app plugged in through react native, works flawlessly. Instead of adding tv controls to that app they decided to create a new one and it’s really not the best idea.
I hate to say it but this doesn’t happen with emby, the UI is similar but I’m able to see all the formats I own and there’s no issue with forwarding.

I had enough parts laying around to build a HTPC but the LG is too damn good, especially after you pihole it.
