Thanks for the info. These look brilliant! I am more AMD incljned also but ive read that in terms of transcoding media, Intel is better. I have time though. Not gonna buy anything until after christmas.

This looks good! I will experiment with this when i get a more modern pi. Currently running pihole and tailscale on a 2012 pi1b

Oh! In addition, if you want to access it from a tv or mobile device you install the client on those devices and point them at the same IP and port. My lg tv has jellyfin in the store, firesticks have it, play store (i assume apple app store too) amd the server can be managed from there too.

You can set up users and allow each user to acces different content in the settings which is good if you have kids and want to keep them from watching john wick 😜

Perhaps its been made easier now as i don't think i did much more than running the installer. My pc is on windows though, my server will likely be using some version of linux. I want to learn linux but need my main pc too much to make it a daily driver.

I used these instrctions for the windows installer

https://jellyfin.org/docs/

(Click the windows link there)

Run the installer (can set it as a service but thats only necessary if you want to run it on boot instead of after login. Afaik.)

Once installed you can access it via your local ipaddress:8096 (eg http://192.168.1.100:8096/)

From there you can head to management in the menus and set up your folders for movies/tv shows etc. You just make some folders somewhere on your pc and point it at those. Download all your content and organise it in there. Jellyfin is quite good at dividing things up into individual series and uses meta data to fill in names and thumbnails etc. And you can select the 3 dots when hovering over any thumbnails to edit the metadata or add custom thumnails etc.

I just tinker with it though. Decide what settings you want to use. I still need to set up https but need to look into self signed certificates and stuff first.

Hope that helps.

I've already started my journey to replace all streaming services with jellyfin anyway so i will be cancelling mine too.

This jimmy kimmel business just sweetens the deal.

got an old raspberry pi set up as a jump box with a tailscale vpn so i can remotely power up my pc from anywhere and watch anything i have downloaded. Just need to get a dedicated server and storage, either nas or internal in a larger tower. But for now its working really well.

Oh, they must have only just woken up and had a coffee...

A masterful joke.

My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn't my wife have to put it down?

I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don't have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

Look he's been travelling through time and space for thousands of years and spent billions of years dying repeatedly in a time loop, i don't think he gives a shit about some patient in surgery when there's a chance to get his end away.

He must think he really hates himself.
