So I'm back to go back to my initial statement. I feel like I've wasted my time with Jellyfin.
After finally getting it working it now won't see new shows added to my library. I've rescanned manually, (which BTW takes less than a second) restarted everything, searched everywhere for the answer but nothing.
It also won't play files it doesn't find metadata for. For example, The latest episodes of Tulsa King and Peacemaker. Both of which play just fine with any other software. Both these files sit in their library without a picture, just the name of the file is displayed.
For fuck sake how fucking hard is it? Why the fuck can I access the files with every other piece of software I have but not this shit.
Seems like Jellyfin is just trying to be too smart. Who gives a shit about metadata and pictures from imdb? What am I going to do, sit there looking at that or watch the fucking video? Why do I have to make all the libraries mixed home movies so I can see shows and movies in the same folder. They are my own files I know what they are. I just want a player that I can access remotely, play the files and can transcode if required. What's the point if I can't see anything added to it?
Fucking thing won't even cast to chromecast in the correct screen size.
As far as accessing files, a simple file browser shits on jellyfin. Does plex have all these bullshit issues? Happy to pay for something that will reduce my stress levels and just fucking work.
Edit: will try Universal Media Server. Seems much simpler. I've wasted enough time on this bullshit.
