I just want something to stream movies from my file server to my TV and mobile devices in a way that's simple enough for the wife and kids to use, but Plex just kept shoving every damn other thing in front of my face. I finally went full Jellyfin last year when the Roku and iOS apps got official launches. There's still a rough spot here or there, but they're getting fewer.

This is why I left Plex too. It shouldn't be hard to find your own content on a service that exists to play your own content.


You can customize and hide all of that though. Mine only shows my own media.


I use Kodi on my fire stick and it seems to work pretty well. It's setup to be able to play video and music from my media server.


Yeah i use kodi (libreelec) on an rpi and it's been great, but i don't think you can stream it to your phone
