[kwlug-disc] NAS -- what protocol?

[Alex Korobkin]

I run Jellyfin only for the movies, no music or other stuff.
I'm not very demanding, so it is a good fit for me: easy to use, a client
available on Android, Chromecast support.
If you name your files right, it would recognize them properly and get the
movie covers. If you add an opensubtitles acc, it would pull subtitles by
request.

My only annoyance is that it doesn't remember the subtitles offset.
