Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.

Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
I have Jellyfin setup alongside Plex, and the one thing that's keeping me from moving fully off Plex is Plexamp [1]. It works flawlessly on my phone/laptops, includes a ton of features and is a pleasure to use - especially compared to Spotify or Apple Music.
I am aware of FinAmp [2] and music players for Jellyfin, but they aren't comparable to PlexAmp yet.

Is there a way to use opus to stream music to Android?
Ah ok, I've been looking into OPUS transcoding in Finamp, it should be possible on Android. There are a few bugs with Jellyfin that makes it a bit awkward, which can be seen here

Sonixd is great, I also want to release Finamp on desktop at some point (I am the developer :) )

You can now donate to Finamp!
Note that the donation is to me personally. Some other Finamp contributors also have a sponsor page, such as Chaphasilor, who's been the main person behind the redesign.

Why do so many third party music listening clients not implement support for scrobbling?
I listen to music on my phone with Gelli. This does not scrobble music either. I'm open to switching apps but finamp seems also not to support scrobbling.
