@dandrumheller@mstdn.social Yes, my situation will not be complex. No multiple users, probably only one tv screen. But I would like access via Apple TV hardware, which might only leave Plex. Plex, which I think spun off of Xbox media server, has been a go to for years, until a recent change on back end, or policy, soured opinions. Why? I have no idea. The most complicated sorting management would be multi episode TV and animated shorts, and supplemental docs to films.

@Chancerubbage@mastodon.social I'm not using Apple TV hardware, but it looks like there are several client options for you. The Android client works well on my Android/roku tv boxes. It seems to handle TV episodes reasonably well. Does have trouble with older things (think 80s TV miniseries), some manual intervention was needed to clean up/clarify metadata. Not sure how it will handle animated shorts or supplemental docs.
