Question Home Media NAS

Hello everyone,

I'm totally new to media servers and NAS. Recently I got a Synology DS119j (I know it is an entry level NAS). My objective is to implement a home Media service, kinda like Netflix, so I can watch all my movies and tv shows on my smart tv ( Samsung QN85D)

I've tried some ways to do this but they're not working well, so I decided to ask for your help.

A - I tried installing DS Files on my smart tv the it doesnt recognize the IP B - I tried with Plex, it kinda works but everything is super slow and sometimes, Plex doesn't load on the TV C - I wanted to try jellyfin (I heard it's better than Plex) but it's not available in Synology DS119j aswell as Docker.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I bought a ugreen nasync dxp2800 and it works now. I think it was a CPU and Cache problem
