    I run a massive streaming service too, which is also way bigger than all the streamers combined. It’s just only distributed over my private home network. Jellyfin for the win!

      Love my Jellyfin server, but I have 2 gripes over just using VLC.

      • Can’t use the scroll wheel for volume. It’s a pain aiming for the volume from across the room on the couch.

      • JF won’t boost volume past 100% like VLC.

      Know of any fixes?

        Are you playing directly on your server?

        For the first one at least you could solve it by running JF with a Chromecast or similar device.
        Feels cleaner than a wireless mouse in the living room too, IMO

        You might want to consider streaming it on your TV. Modern TVs should have a Plex app at the least. Or use a Chromecast or other setup. I watch on my couch with the TV remote. Its the same experience as watching Netflix.

          Plex isn’t Jellyfin though. Lots of TV’s/TV OS’s have Jellyfin app but it’s pretty basic. I’d recommend an AppleTV with Infuse, it’s super built out with all sorts of great features. It’s a better app than all of the streaming services
