Who This Is For
- You’re comfortable with terminal/config files
Aaand I’m out. It looked fun until I got to all the work I would need to do.

I’m comfortable with the terminal and messing around with config files.
I still rolled my eyes at how the user seem to have no understanding of what’s the actual convenience that Plex/jellyfish provides. Hint: playing videos is the least of them.

Yup, I use the terminal every day at work, my workflow is VIM + tmux, and I self hosted a Minecraft server using systemd (and a bunch of other stuff), so CLIs are kinda my thing.
I don’t use MPV. Why? I watch my content on my TV. If I’m on my computer where MPV could be used, I’ll play video games or work on personal projects, not watch content. Jellyfin is easy enough that I had to block the app on my TV since my 3yo was watching it before I got up. It works really well, it’s easy to set up, and even a child who can’t read can use it.
What does MPV provide?
