I have network storage. That’s it.
I want to watch anime? I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC. I want to listen to music while on my walk? I open Solid Explorer on my phone and play the MP3. I want to read ebooks? I just open the file in whatever reader app I want.
I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend.
What am I missing out on? Anyone else run their NAS like this?
Thanks all.
VLC runs on everything.
I have a UPnP server running on my NAS and use VLC to stream anything that my Jellyfin box has issues with.
Vlc does not meet the wife approval factor.
Tell me more
nothing more to tell. my jellyfin box can’t handle newer codecs and I also have older devices that can connect to UPnP servers directly.
