    That’s a far cry from how most people watch movies and TV though. Most everyone I know uses it through some sort of app on a device in their living room, like a smart TV, fire stick, game console, whatever.

      I mean if you don’t want to use it you don’t need to find an excuse, just don’t.
      Otherwise, Jellyfin has apps for TV, smartphones and so on; you input address, user and password the first time and that’s it.

      For the clients it’s painless, it’s the first time setup as the server owner that takes a little help. But I’m no computer wizard and I managed it just fine.
