Looking for suggestions for an app my family can use to “stream” entertainment from server to TV/computers while staying within the home network.
I know of a guide to redirect Plex so it doesn’t have to go to the internet, but I haven’t been able to get it to work.
Any recommendations?
Emby.
I know everyone loves Jellyfin because it’s open-source, but I’ve used Emby for years after trying all 3 and it’s been the easiest set and forget system. I also think the interface is the best but that’s subjective.
If you have the time I suggest you try both Emby and Jellyfin and see which suits your needs best.
The gap is closing but Emby really is the best Plex alternative when WAF is involved.
when WAF is involved
I had to ask chatgpt what this meant:
> In the context of media home streaming, “WAF” likely stands for “Wife Acceptance Factor.”
And I choked on my coffee a bit with laughter. I must be old or something, but did not know of this word and I find it hilarious and so accurate!
