Yeah, I am too lazy to set up something like Jellyfin. It only makes sense for me with music, for which I use Navidrome. But again, my setup is mostly directory/filename based, so it’s really being carried with m3u playlists as opposed to proper metadata.
I mean, maybe I’ll use Jellyfin if I’ll do something in a proper way, but currently I don’t see the point of it. And anyway, I can always copy the URLs to VLC, which will even accept DVD ISO files.
e.g.:
Sorry, your favorite media server is just files you play on a browser?
I mean, not shaming, I just had never heard of that being preferable to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin.
Kinda based tho tbh
“If it works, it ain’t stupid” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It can definitely work and be stupid

e.g.:
let’s me play entire copy of a DVD, properly with menus and bonus features, just as if I used the DVD directly.
Although I don’t do this anymore because of storage limitations, but I’ll likely return back to it once I’ll have a proper media server and LAN.
