Someday someone will invent a way to let you watch video files on your TV and it'll just work and it won't do weird things like "you can't watch stand up comedy" (plex) or "only 30% of your files will play" (dlna) or "if you have a video split into two halves, it can only see the first half" (jellyfin)
That'll be a cool day.
clearly some should crowdfund the VLCBox
it's a little box that runs VLC (WITH UPDATES) and nothing else. it just talks to ethernet or wifi and shoves videos out an HDMI port
@foone surely you mean a VLC cone.
@kawa good point
