I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don’t well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv
I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.
Aw heck, I’d prefer foss

The linux server image worked without issue for me.
You might have to let jellyfin finish scanning your stuff though. First time takes a bit.
Pretty sure Emby is open source since Jellyfin is a fork of it, but that also means you might run into the same issues if you try switching over.
I’d check if you have hardware transcoding turned on. If you have an intel cpu it should be enough to get things to work.
