I have 16TB NAS dedicated to storing TV shows. It is just a cabinet with ryzen 2600 and no graphics card. I have installed openmediavault in it to access it via smb to other devices. I am an absolute noob in setting up a server. Please tell me how I should go on about turning it into a media consumption machine.
P. S: I usually use VLC on android and MPV on linux to consume the media.
Setup jellyfin and pick up a 4k Google Chromecast for your TV. Then use the jellyfin client app on that. Nice and easy.
This isn’t bad advice, but if you’re going to the trouble of setting this up to get rid of a streaming service, you might as well steer clear of Google.
