I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don’t well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv
I believe Jellyfin was a fork of Emby a number of versions back originally. I’ve used Emby for some while and had no issues other than the occasional case where transcribing some ridiculous bitrate file eats up resources. Streaming to Emby (as in the cast icon) via Roku has an issue with series that have more than 100 episodes on them due to an index size issue, that might have carried over to to Jellyfin?
