I’m looking to try something new. I’m bored with Jellyfin. Anyone have any good alternatives I can have a good play with over the weekend?

      Ditto. You could also leave Jellyfin as your back end, and link it to Kodi for your front end (if it is just the UI you are bored of)

    Well i’m trying to experiment a bit. I’m trying to get all the daily shows to come through and auto delete them in 2weeks eg. breakfast shows local news, daily soaps etc. but jellyfin isnt kicking it. Plus for some odd reason the layout on my shieldTV is an absolute disaster 😔 . So just looking to experiment to see what alternatives are about. I did have mythTV running for a while last year, but it seemed very dated.

      Plex supports native auto deletion, just like you are asking for. For Jellyfin there’s a plug-in: https://github.com/terrelsa13/MUMC

      Plus for some odd reason the layout on my shieldTV is an absolute disaster for some reason

      That’s because Jellyfin’s clients are still mostly terrible. Jellyfin is the more flexible media server, Plex has the far, far better clients.

    I have Kodi running today. Very impressed with the picture quality, its better than Emby and Jellyfin that I was using. I have it setup with the jellyfin plug-in. The dashboard still inst doing exactly what I wasn’t but I’ll give it another day of tinkering to see if will work for me.
