minus-squareCosmicTurtle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoI made the switch this week. Jellyfin took about 10 minutes to set up and left it overnight to scan my files. I only had to make a few corrections. You can always try it out in a VM or container or even run both at once. You can cast it onto a chrome cast though I haven’t tried this yet.
