I have been using Jellyfin for over a year, brilliant thing. Makes it very easy to stream my media; I have one client catered to music, and the main one for movies/TV shows.

when making a media server i first went for plex. but when i heard it costs money to view my own files in 4k i had to use jellyfin instead

I run Jellyfin for myself and Plex for others. The Jellyfin android tv app almost pushed me back to Plex, but Wholpin works quite well.

+1 for Wholphin, it's so good! I wish it was the default app.
