Weird, jellyfin always seems to have it.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Though they seem to keep making it harder and harder to buy egitimate harder copies of the content I want.

"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell

This quote is relevant far too often

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 14 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Kind of. But when Amazon has the option to rent a movie for $3, and all I have to do is click that button and it will stream instantly, I still NEVER click that button. It's not really a service issue, because it's available instantly at just the click of a button.

It's more of a principal issue. Like why the fuck am I paying all this money for all these streaming services and you still want to charge me even more? Makes piracy an easy choice.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 22 hours ago

I still see it as a service issue. I can only watch it once or for a very short time. That's not the service I'm looking for.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 1 day ago

I don't even need hard copies, just give me the ability to buy a DRMless file I can run on any of my devices for a fair price. I don't even necessarily need to be able to download it again in the future if that makes it cheaper. I can back my shit up myself.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Que sera, as I like to say.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

My experience exactly. It's only in English though, but I'm okay with that

If you've heard of plex, it's that but you don't have to pay money to access your own content.

If you haven't, it's a media server and client program that organizes your backups of dvds and definitely nothing else

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah you definitely can't set up an automated system to grab releases of cool shows and stuff then send it to a torrent client to download before being sorted into jellyfin libraries.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

No, not at all. You definitely should avoid the tools sonarr, radarr, jellyseer, and jackett

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 22 hours ago

Why are we talking all hush hush here? checks com instance Ohh

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Oh cool! So I can stream stuff on the go for free?

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The only cost is of obtaining the media you wish to stream, using whatever method you wish to aquire it.

[–] TheOctonaut@piefed.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Ok and then I can let the kids watch Wild Kratts in the car?

Yes and no. You could, in theory, put it behind a reverse proxy, but you shouldn't without further security measures.

You could put your server in a tailnet (tailscale, there are FOSS alternatives, but those are more difficult to set up), which is extremely, easy to configure, and allows every device in it (smartphones, tablets, computers...) to access your media server.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

Upvote for Tailscale. I don’t use it for media streaming but my frigate server with my pet cams is on there. Really great for a free service.

[–] SirIglooi@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago

Basically self hosted streaming. If you havent already set it up you're missing out, choose what content you want to watch, no ads, watch it however you like...

[–] three@piefed.social -3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Home media server with huge security holes for remote streaming.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"Hugely overblown", you mean.

[–] three@piefed.social -2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Enjoy your arbitrary code execution.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 6 points 23 hours ago

You mean, the one in the GHSA that was swiftly fixed in accordance with proper protocols?

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

Your poor internet hygiene is more troubling.
