I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn't play. I also don't need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I'll be using other things for those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don't well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv

If it doesn't play it could means that the video codec/format isn't supporter for streaming and it should be transcoded. But that needs a GPU and a vps doesn't have that...

I think you could have the same problem with Plex

I actually should be able to do it. The files are hosted on a drive I have at home mounted on a raspberry pi, the drive is then mounted on the vps through sshfs, so while it would take a while I think the pi might do it. Otherwise I'll just do it on my desktop, the drive is mounted through sshfs here too.
