    Go on to eBay and sink $100 into an old business E-Waste Tower.

    I could make a server out of that for my video files.

    Thanks for the info on Linux.

      Yes you absolutely can. I have a few like that. I have jelly fin running on a 4th generation i7 system serving all our movies and TV shows. It doesn’t have to be super powerful Etc

        I have used Jelly Fin a few times, last time I couldn’t get my network to agree with me. I use Plex to stream my videos.

          Yeah I used to use Plex as well. And there’s nothing super wrong with that. I just like the fact that jelly fin isn’t putting a lot of stuff behind paywalls or taking features away. Which Plex has done over the years as well as introducing advertisement and stuff. I’m not so worried about all the extra streaming content they want to provide. I can get most of it through other apps already.
