Hi!
I'm new here, so please bear with me
I am a life time Plex user using the Nvidia Shield Pro (2015) as a media server for a very long time, i.e. before I bought the Shield in 2015 and I'm just fed up with Plex giving me the run around after every update. The April update killed it again and so I'm looking for alternatives.
I tried to find out if Jellyfin would work as an android media server and I found very old answers stating that it only works as a client on the Nvidia Shield. Is this still the case or is there a possibility to run it as a server on the Shield with an external harddisk connected to it?
As I don't need any outside connection and only use it as a home entertainment system with me as the sole user, I really don't want to go through the hassle to set up an external NAS. I don't need live TV as well, as I cut the cord many years ago and never looked back.
I would appreciate a relatively easy search for subtitles as well, as some of my family members are hearing impaired.
Thank you for any clarifying comments!
