I’m interested in using VLC more for home viewing. Right now it’s my only option for playing my imaged DVDs on the fire stick. The interface is decent but I’m wondering if you know of a more normie friendly way to select titles, other than browsing a network share.

I have jellyfin for group viewing and sharing, but it’s actually just a bunch of symlinks to an NFS share, which is also exposed as a fileserver (caddy with basic auth)

So I can stream via jelly clients, or remotely stream/download files directly, or read straight off my local NAS.

I don’t want a GUI getting between me and my media

Ah, I see, fellow telnet starwarstel.net enjoyer.
