How to begin setting up a media center? - lemm.ee

I have 16TB NAS dedicated to storing TV shows. It is just a cabinet with ryzen 2600 and no graphics card. I have installed openmediavault in it to access it via smb to other devices. I am an absolute noob in setting up a server. Please tell me how I should go on about turning it into a media consumption machine. P. S: I usually use VLC on android and MPV on linux to consume the media.

Jellyfin or Plex are great front ends that can help organize all your media.

I personally use Plex, but have heard Jellyfin is comparable 😀

Plex is way harder to set up. Their UX is a mess and hasn’t changed in 20 years. All carried over from its chaotic days as an open source project.

Jellyfin can be challenging at times, but it’s a much more modern take on the premise, as mirrored by its UX.

Can you even watch jellyfin away from home?

Yes, but you need to know a little about network configuration to do that

You need to know a little about networking for all of this 🤷‍♂️
