If you want completely FOSS setup, check out Jellyfin [0], it keeps steadily improving.

Not ready yet. Buffer interruptions are constant and the metadata scraper often tells you you have 7 seasons of the same Star Trek: TNG (for example) episode.

Is jellyfin any good yet?

Last time I looked they didn't really have much for client apps yet.

It is not ready yet. I hope it one day can compete with Plex, but I wonder if a community OSS project like this will take off and create high quality native apps per platform.

Thanks for the update. I'll keep my eye on it though -- maybe it will get there eventually.

isnt that sort of Plex? It came from a political fork of XBMC for OS X. Some of plex is still open source, despite it having no XBMC/Kodi code anymore.
