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.
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.
