Looking for suggestions for an app my family can use to “stream” entertainment from server to TV/computers while staying within the home network.

I know of a guide to redirect Plex so it doesn’t have to go to the internet, but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

Any recommendations?

    Jellyfin. Just be weary that it’s not great in some cases depending on your hardware. A media server is typically a weak workstation PC. I found that Jellyfin does not handle ASS (most common format for Anime) subtitles well, though if you only have SRT subtitles you should be fine.

    There are a few other little things that are missing, such as sorting shows by date last episode was added and the clicking on a show button will always start the very first episode available instead of the next un-played episode.
