is Jellyfin worth it if you have a DLNA server set up already? (lemmy.tf)

I guess its as the title asks, is it worth hosting Jellyfin if you already have a DLNA server set up?

I'd recommend the Chromecast.

You can install the Jellyfin app for Android TV and it works really well. Additionally, if you use YouTube, you can sideload SmartTube, which removes ads and auto-skips sponsored segments on some videos.

I have this setup for my parents, if that gives you an idea of how well it works for "non-technical" people. At home I have a similar setup except I'm using the Nvidia shield, which is pricier, but I would recommend it if you have a 4k TV - it uses "AI" (ML, really) to upscale content to 4k and it works really well.
