I’ll be honest, there’s some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.

If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do–it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.

Thank you!

Yes, @taytay, free as in liberty, not free as in beer–but don’t kid yourself, if there’s a chance of doing anything remotely useful or groundbreaking with any of those for free, that number likely rounds to 0.

They’re already starting an attack on FOSS (free open source software) with FB declaring Linux news/content a security threat .

The actual threat is to the for-profit golden geese and billionaire egos that just got dunked by a free alternative.
