What is jellyfin? What is this?

Jellyfin is a FOSS alternative to Plex. In simple terms, is a media streaming software. Download and host your media on one computer, stream it to other devices

It's a media server that lets you access movies/tv shows/music from other devices via apps or a web interface. In this post's case it's talking about the Jellyfin app on Roku that lets you watch/listen to stuff through Roku devices.

In my experience it's been pretty nice and easy to use, and the Roku app's decent enough for what I'm after, which is simply watching stuff from my PC on other tvs in other rooms.

That's me 😀

I like to post video demos of new features I'm working on, so if anyone wants to see previews of what's down the pipeline, check it out.

Who are you? Who am I? Wait, is this a dream?

Seriously, though. Jellyfin is the bees knees
