From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
This all feels like it should be 800x less of an issue because phones & tablets should just be able to connect over SMB & you should use whatever media player you want on your device.
Telling your home router to forward 445 is not that hard. Usinf minupnpc or just building in auto-port forwarding would be better. Alas I've seen some isp's block users from connecting to 445, which seems insane (my ispets me host there, but my parents isp blocks me from dialing home?!). So I often forward on another port (ex: 4445) and then everything works fine.
The main problem why the obvious "just use computers" problems doesnt work is... Android. Phones. These incressingly user-hostile anti-general-purpose-computing systems. Some of my media players still work with the 2017 code drom of the Android Samba Provider, but it uses old Android APIs so many media players wont work with it. I have no idea if Android still makes filesystem providers possible at all, but we havent seen any, and this one old one-time-drop artifact remains the only example I know of it ever having beem done ever on Android. But then again I really have had no interest in Box/Azure Drives/whatever... it'd be interesting/great to know if anyone does remote drives on android today. It feels wild that we have so much bespoke special software for remote media serving... when we have seemingly so little that does the general job.

Ideally upnp/dlna should also somehow be an option too, but it assumes secure private networks I think? I'd love if it could be exposed publicly but locked down but it does all use mdns. And Tailscale's the only company on the planet who seemingly has the sense to extend our homenet's reach quickly/easily.

SMB Client
Since Android 13 the Google Samba client https://github.com/google/samba-documents-provider won't load. It's by far the simplest and best client I've seen (free, ad-free, works with the OOB file explorer). But it's knackered, and you know, Google and their abandonware makes me think it'll never be fixed.

I quite like [Dopamine 3](https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine). Simple, nice UI, open-source.

From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
Try Dopamine on Windows. It's very simple and light https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine
- Just found out about Dopamine and was setting it up. This is nice to see! Hopefully they eventually find a way to support Zune sync.

Winamp 5.9 RC1 has been released
Dopamine has remained my favorite since I first found out about it in its early beta days. It has a v3 in preview as well that adds support for Linux and macOS, though I do not use that version myself yet.

ninja linux
i'd suggest using https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine instead of strawberry, btw. much nicer music player (though useless if you aren't using local files)
What are some alternatives?
docker-jellyfin-for-tizen-installer - Docker-based installer for "Jellyfin for Tizen"
extraterm - The swiss army chainsaw of terminal emulators
chrlauncher - Small and very fast portable launcher and updater for Chromium.
TablacusExplorer - A tabbed file manager with Add-on support
Rise-Media-Player - One media player for everything you own or stream; whether it's music or videos, online or offline Rise Media Player does it all. And it's beautiful and native with the latest version of WinUI.
