Old man here who's been back on land for many years but its time to put my boots on and get back to sea.
I have a media library I manually curated for ages. I have been using Nova Player to play back on my Shield and its been great. No need to host a server as it pulls everything I need direct from SMB, playback, metadata etc.
In building out my stack I'm looking into a single point of search to request media. Enter the Seerrs.
My question is - it seems Seerrs need the media player back-end (Jellyfin, etc) and I know I can connect the Shield to the back-end player but - why would I want to?
What is Jellyfin able to provide on the back-end with my stack that the front end of Nova Player isn't already doing?
The way I look at this is - additional resources used on my NAS running the docker that wont be used (unless someone here can point out what I am overlooking)
Thanks for any enlightenment here.
