I use it on my tablet and it direct plays all of my (limited) media, and also handles and organizes downloads to the device with reencoding options. Playback is more reliable and efficient compared to Swiftfin. UI seems modeled after existing streaming services.

They also have a plugin that “updates” your existing Jellyfin install so the features show up on the official client, but uses code injection which I didn’t like and so did not partake. The sense I get is that they push for features and implementation while official Jellyfin development takes a much more conservative approach. I hope they can work together some day.

Same boat on Swiftfin and Infuse.

There’s one I recently found called Moonfin that does many things well. It’s my current go-to until official apps catch up.

Having non-technical family on board is priceless tbh.

Set aside some for surge protection/UPS

My Windows 10 setup was extremely optimized and my favorite OS.

I use Linux for my daily driver now, but every so often I have to dig out my (air gapped) Windows 10 laptop to do something and it’s just… nice.

I’m a recent covert for my daily driver.

I actually liked my Windows setup because it was fast and streamlined.

What I didn’t care for was cutting out bloat every major update and the surprises like “we just copied all of your private keys and documents into our cloud and hid them”

There’s a “defenestrate” joke here somewhere.
