I’m pretty thy a newbie when it comes to networking and stuff, but was wondering if it’s possible to run jellyfin as a server on my shield. A bit fed up looking at plex and wondering what alternatives I have. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Edit: thanks all for the replies and suggestions.

    Jellyfin server isn’t available for Android. If you installed Linux on your Shield, then yeah it would run, but none of the Android streaming apps would, so meh.

    Like someone else said, just get a used office computer for cheap and run your server off of that.

    The hardware transcoding from even somewhat older Intel iGPUs is rock solid.

    Can you run plex as a server on the shield?

    I’m not really familiar with that device. Are you running android on it or Linux?

      Yeah, I have it running now, but I’m unsure the direction the company is taking and looking for a jump-off point.
