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 works great in an all Jellyfin environment. It’s poor integration with Chromecast ultimately kept me off the platform. But that’s on me for letting Google make things too easy.
I will give Jellyfin further credit, that Finamp is really well designed for music use, and it kept me running the server in parallel with other media servers for quite a while.
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 use it on my Chromecast constantly. I have had subtitle sync problems with some media, but that is literally on every single jellyfin app platform I have tried.
You can use jellyfin to manage your Kodi media which is how I use it. I get the customizability of Kodi with the seamless syncing between devices of jellyfin.

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

It has a pretty good google tv app. That’s how my wife mainly uses it. I use the iOS app Swiftfin.

I didn’t know Finamp existed. How does it compare to Plexamp?
What? Why do you say that?
