For general “wow this is hella cool” it’s a mix up between Jellyfin and Nekoweb.
Jellyfin is a amazing media server that I have spent hours and hours upon now, building my local library buying DVDs and Blurays. It’s been… liberating.
Nekoweb is a host and index of indie websites and its lovely seeing people just code the most 2005 coated websites.
I use it for streaming to my phone on the train to work.
It also has a really nice feature where it can sync between 2 or more people. Even when they choose 2 formats or audio tracks.
So for example if you and your friend wants to watch anime. You enjoy hearing Japanese and reading the subtitles but they prefer English dub. Well you can still sync up and watch (given your source has both Audio tracks)
Jellyfin is a nice frontend + transcode manager for your folder of mashed up .mp4 files. Main benefit is streaming to any device (with compatible jf client) on your network

Is Jellyfin much better than just mashing mp4’s into a folder? I never understood the streaming server hype but also never tried it.
