Thread 107130931

Normies be like:
>wtf is this???
Me:
>This is my own Netflix. Actually, I'm kidding, it's much better than Netflix. It has everything I will ever want and more. Nothing will ever get removed from it. This is what you'll never have.

Anyway, Jellyfin Thread.

Why are you so antisemitic?

>>107130931 (OP)
SMB server can do literally same thing but without bullshit

I never understood making media servers
I always just carry the mp4s and mkvs local on pendrive or SD card

>>107131022
Actually this. What is the usecase for Jellyfin if you have no mobile devices?
And why SMB? Kodi/linux can sshfs, anything else can nfs?

>>107131250
Three things make that impractical:
- having family members and/or partners who want to watch something else at the same time or at a time when you're not available
- having a collection that's larger than a couple of TB
- wanting to watch on end devices that don't have a USB port, like a FireTV stick

Anyway, do what works for you, but don't complain when your collection goes bust because you don't have backups or redundancy

>>107131291
I forgot to mention that I have three 4TB drives which are exact copies of each other and on USB or SD I only copy what I currently am seeking to watch. The drives stay shelved most of the time and I connect them through USB whenever needed.

>>107131308
I did say "impractical", not "impossible" though.
Even when you're ok with having to manage data redundancy yourself, this still leaves point #3, wanting to watch on devices without a USB port (but with network streaming). But if you live alone and only watch on devices that have a port, you're good, I guess

If I want to stream videos from linux to a tv that already has a firetv stick but no attached pc, then is there any alternative to jellyfin? I can install the jellyfin app on firetv and it works, but I don't see how simpler options like filesystem access (smb, sshfs, nfs) can be realised on a firetv. Is jellyfin in this case the best option or are there other ways?

picrel is OP btw
>we don't you have jellyfin, like I do in GERMANY?

If you run jellyfin on a setup with a dedicated GPU and/or sound card, do you get better quality streaming? i stream from a shitty laptop and i get white noise over the music when i'm streaming

Kodi.
You do need to set up your media library correctly for this to work well, tho.

>>107131261
If this was a Plex thread I would agree with you, but I mean it's just a tiny database that runs in a docker container for your non techy friends to use when they come over. What do you lose by having one running?

>>107131018
All decent people are

>>107130931 (OP)
wth is this?
You can watch any movie online from your TV in 4K HDR for free.

>>107131367
you shouldnt use an audio card, just passthrough your audio to avr with no changes.

I used to use "Smart" subtitles but ever since 10.11 half of the default sub tracks show up as Undefined language, so I switched to "Default" and have to keep toggling them off at the beginning of anything EN. Anyone know a fix?

>>107131994
watch everything with subtitles, why would you not

i just use stremio and real debrid

>>107131261
Kodi supports nfs, however I am a filthy secondary and couldn't get it to work so I stuck with smb

>>107130931 (OP)
Based, same.
>>107131018
I've seen one before
