Lots of Jellyfin love in here, love too see it. The sever end of is great, the client end though... not so much. If you are just looking for a plug and go, plex has the maturity of their clients with a very workable backend. just about every device out there as an up to date official plex app, right down to a windows app if you really want it.
Again, no shit on Jellyfin here, Plex is a business after all.
Usually what happens is a simple set up of a laptop with Kodi and a 1tb external drive turn into a hobby and you end up with huge NAS set ups with docker stacks. It's so much less about about the actual content and more about the hobby. At least for me it's become that.
The only one here answer the question about looking for content. The rest are great (plex + *arr stack myself) but it didn't solve the issue of WHAT media to add to plex/kodi/stremio/etc.
Need to be an *arr or another program we can docker to basically be Just Watch with a click and torrent search.
The *arrs work well with all of the big three, I have a Jellyfin install here but it's apps for TV and what not are really lacking and attempting to get that to work with some of my elderly relatives I don't look forward to. Just setting up Plex with them was a nightmare.
Yes, Jellyseer works fine but it's really only a version specifially for jellyfin when OS already has support for it.
What's sad is we HAD that in original Netflix. Then the studios got greedyaf and now we are back to, basically, cable. I'm not saying Netflix isn't at a huge fault here (that 720p during covid was some real bs) but the beginning of this disaster is squarely on the shoulders of all the studios wanting their share of the pie plus more.
My mans... you just described GOG.
This was my fix also. Switched to my own router and no problems since then. Should really have bought one sooner honestly.
Just the thought of it makes me ill. I don't get it. Even before my two daughters were born it was pretty gross and I got why they were shanked all the time in prison but once I had them... it went to disgust and the possibility of jail time if someone did anything like that to them.
Here is the suck... there HAS to be an archive of it to be used to help save kids, identify locations, get other clues, etc... Without an archive, it would be near impossible to do anything.
For a small glimpse of that fucked shit and why an archive is needed, check out a yt vid called Mr Swirl: The Internet's Most Disturbed User. It's not even a vid on why archiving is good, it's just a vid on how they got this shitheel but proves my point.
You would be shocked at the stuff on there. Norm Macdonald Live was removed from YT (can't remember why) but it's all on archive.org to watch or download, even as a torrent.
Gotta give it to you, you plugged away, learned, plugged away some more and got a really nice starting base for a setup. Now it's time to start burning time and money on ever increasing space, a docker stack, a more powerful server (leaving the pihole to handle the ads), and on and on lol. Welcome to the hobby!
