Glorified VLC.

Look, for me to "stream" movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn't like certain file types/encodes.

Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.
