Despite of the "premium pass" drawbacks I would recommend Plex or Emby. I tried Jellyfin a second time yesterday and it's far from being a finished and proper alternative to Plex or Emby. The interface is weird and so is the mobile app. It doesn't seem to support direct playback for some reason as it would automatically transcode a 1080p 6 Mbps video to 1080p 60 Mbps on a device that can play 1080p fine at its normal bitrate. My NUC started to sound like a yet when I realized that Jellyfin started to transcode the test video I played on my phone. Plex and Emby are much better at this.

Plex is available for Windows, Linux (including ARM), FreeBSD, Mac OS, NAS devices and even some powerful routers.

Here are a few guides for various Linux distributions:
- https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install...untu-18-04
- https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install...-debian-9/
- https://www.linode.com/docs/applications...-centos-7/

It's not really hard to setup and use.

I use it on Windows on the Intel NUC.


Edit: Just to make it clear. A Plex account is generally free! Some features are premium only though. If you don't mind not being able to use the mobile app without premium then you will most likely have no issue. The other premium features are more or less deluxe stuff that one might not really need. You can even share your library with friends for streaming if your upload is fast enough.
