I moved my retro game library to Jellyfin, and now I can play them from anywhere (www.xda-developers.com)

RomM sounds like a much better option.

    Another vote for RomM here. Basically turned my archives into a self hosted GoG

    Can RoMM catalogue recent PC games?

    Yes.

    Primary file will be whatever installer/iso. Supplementary stuff is a bit awkward but can be put in, and then it pulls metadata from (primarily) IGDB and Mobygames

    What you're not going to pull off is a deeply automated import of PC stuff in the way you can throw a whole ROM library at it and let the scan work.

    I took a run and this over the weekend and it was extremely simple - just another platform in ROMM alongside what I already had. PC games are in a separate storage location than where I keep my ROMs, but bind mounting it to the container library worked a treat.

    I bid adieu to my Gameyfin setup. ROMM syncs to Playnite, so now I have a single catalogue of everything I have across every service and offline installer.
