Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 9 hours agoYou’re missing the point - he’s elevating cli above all else, which you don’t have on TV or mobile.
Yes, I know there are media clients, I’ve used them all.
Besides, he’s not doing anything different than running a “server stack” (which isn’t accurate, he’s still running a server, the device hosting the media services, even if they’re native to the OS).

I agree with you on the CLI part. I tried Jellyfin once and it’s basically the same as browsing directories with movies in a file manager, for which you don’t need the whole heavyweight software stack.
I know Jellyfin also has transcoding and probably some even more exotic stuff, but even my phone can play full HD from SMB without transcoding, so I have no use case for these extra features.
