    For 3D SBS video, I use Jellyfin - which is free to use and pretty easy to setup. There's also an android client app for your phone, that allows you to browse you're libraries etc. I then use VLC is the default video player app, which works perfectly for 3D SBS. Source: 10 months ago
  • Suggestions for file server
    A mini with an N100 processor and 16GB RAM will do what you want better than that Wyse 3040 while still using low power. I use a Beelink Mini S12 as a media server. I put a 2TB NVMe and a 4TB SSD into it for storage. It runs a collection of services including Jellyfin for streaming video to my TV. I run all of my services in Docker. I have it sitting by my TV and it is silent, cool, and power efficient. I use it... Source: 10 months ago

    For a few TB of data you have many options. I use a Beelink Mini S12 with a 4TB SSD and a 2TB NVMe in it. It is powerful enough to run several services and stream photos and video to my phone, desktop, and TV (using an Amazon Fire Stick on the TV). I use Photoprism and Jellyfin for that. I access it remotely using Tailscale. It helps if you own a domain so you can setup SSL certs. I have devpl.us and home.devpl.us... Source: 10 months ago
  • Titles are hard but collecting your favourite shows shouldn't be
    Right now there's two options I would recommend setting up for the actual streaming of your totally legally acquired media. The main service you'll see most people using these days is Plex, but there is a also an open source alternative, JellyFin. Both of these are fairly easy to set up, although I would recommend doing so in a linux virtual machine (also easy to set up, but I won't go into detail here),... Source: 11 months ago
