I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn't that important. Just want something convenient.

Lots of Jellyfin love in here, love too see it. The sever end of is great, the client end though... not so much. If you are just looking for a plug and go, plex has the maturity of their clients with a very workable backend. just about every device out there as an up to date official plex app, right down to a windows app if you really want it.

Again, no shit on Jellyfin here, Plex is a business after all.

Yeah, I did try out plex and kodi long time ago. I watched a setup video with jellyfin it seemed simple enough. Saw it has an iOS app too.

It's getting better. On Android there's Findroid which does streaming really well, although it doesn't show most Jellyfin settings. Iirc there's also a native iOS app.

Anything for Roku?

Yeah I have jellyfin set up on my Roku

Which app on the Roku do you use to stream the JF content?

The jellyfin app

Oh shit. The last time I checked this didn't exist. I should have rechecked before asking this (what I know now to be a stupid) question. Thanks!
