      I know you’re gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the “pretty for my wife” reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it’ll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

      But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I’d already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

        Use NFS for your sanity. Linux samba/CIFS is annoying to deal with.

        Also, mpv

          Honestly, I’m not a big fan if Microsoft generally, but I found NFS to be surprisingly not great for non-permanent infrastructure, whereas SMB took a few minutes and works great, at least in my use cases. Maybe I’m just a loser, though.
