I really like Jellyfin MPV Shim, which supports casting from any jellyfin device and automatically opens mpv. E.g. I have jellyfin in my browser set to cast to the mpv shim by default, so after clicking play in Jellyfin web mpv automatically opens in fullscreen.
With MPV supporting almost any codec and proper HDR tone mapping, I don’t worry about transcoding or whether the image looks right.
I’m using Proxmox with a NixOS LXC for Jellyfin/*arr. The media is stored on a single btrfs HDD, because high uptime (RAID) isn’t necessary for me and it’s media I can simply redownload.
I’m looking into switching to NixOS on bare metal, because I don’t need the UI of proxmox and most other features.
Symphonium is great for music, even though it’s closed source and paid. I’m mostly using Spotify though.
Findroid is an awesome native Android app for watching tv/movies, altough it doesn’t support transcoding.
