    Care to elaborate on a Jellyfin server for those who don’t know? I would gather a lot who read this would be interested in a summary or ELI5 it.

      Jellyfin, kodi, openelec, emby and plex are currently the best self-hosted media streaming platforms. Just attach some hard drive with your vacation videos, ripped dvds/blurays, other owned content and you can have your own service that is only available in your local network at home, for free, with whatever quality you want. One benefit is that this will still work in the rare occasion that your ISP screws up and knocks your neighborhood offline. The downside is you have to have sufficient storage and need to acquire your media yourself.

      Jellyfin server

      The easiest way forward is to take that and couple it with something like this for near instant access to a shit ton of content.

      Edit: If you are using Set Top Boxes or Smart TVs like Roku / Google / Samsung make sure there’s a Jellyfin client available for your device. You may need to use something else like Plex or Kodi if a Jellyfin client isn’t available for your environment.
