I am searching dor some form of software that I can use to watch all the different media I have stored locally, similar to Jellyfin. However the Problem is, that I do not have a dedicated media server (yet), so I am searching for something that I can use like Jellyfin, but that just runs locally. Everything that I have found is aimed at media servers. Do you have any suggestions?

    If by this you mean you want to only rely on your smartphone then the local storage you want is just that. Get a good SSD that you can connect to your phone and carry it around. Then share your phone’s screen to a TV over WiFi or copy the file to your phone’s internal storage and plug it with an USB to HDMI cable if that’s an option for you. A good app on Android for file browsing is MiXplorer.

    I usually only think about running stuff like Jellyfin when I’m already using my PC, so turning it on or off is never an issue and I’ll never need an external server for this purpose.

      I was talking about my PC, but I do not want to always search the film in my Hard drive (and I really liked the interface from jellyfin, so I wanted something similar)
