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?

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!

Ha, glad you could appreciate it. I picked it up from some people in a diy electronics/home automation Discord, but it was relayed to me as Wife Approval Factor.
