The question I have, because I'm considering self-hosting something like that, is will my non-text have a family be able to understand how to use it? If not then it's not really going to be worth it right?
Ideally I want something that would seamlessly replace Spotify and all video streaming services as well and, if my dreams can come true, also work with Google Assistant.
I haven't tried audio streaming but the video in Jellyfin works just like netflix or any other video site.
I have my music on my server and can stream it like Spotify. The frontend user experience of Plex, Jellyfin and Emby is literally just like Netflix, the untrained eye wouldn't tell the difference.
If they can’t figure it out then it’s a them problem right?
You sound like someone that has never supported a production server.
The main reason I pay for content is that I don't have the time to provide reasonable customer service to my family. If they can't use it, it is without use; useless.
Also, I do plenty enough care and feeding of complex systems at work. When I get home, it's nice to stop working.
Not really when you are going to be texted about it. I spent 3 hours trying to get jellyfin to work on my phone. Staying with Plex as they have better apps.
What was the issue? My experience was the opposite.. I installed the app (android) and went to my IP, it works. I was surprised how simple and easy it was. Or were you trying to use it outside of your home LAN?
On my lan, get black screen on movies.
Ok sounds like codecs/ffmpeg. Did you get it fixed or still having the issue?
