Jellyfin + Sonarr/Radarr + Bittorrent = free personal netflix with infinite logins.
I gave logins to my whole family over the holidays and now they can watch anything they want. They just text me the name of the movie and it's up there in 2 minutes.
Streaming is becoming just as bad as cable was. I'm done playing their games.
Hulu literally has adds on their PAID subscription.... People are getting WAY too used to being butt fucked by these companies
edit: I used this guide to set it all up: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487
Ombi or Overseerr (I prefer Overseerr) will let them do requests automatically. Overseerr uses Plex logins so you don't need to manage additional passwords for them.
You can have Overseerr sync Plex watchlists so they don’t even need to use Overseerr, just add what they want to their Plex watchlist.
You can setup Overseer to manage requests and even sync Plex watchlists so that literally all they have to do is add something to their watchlist.
There is a Jellyseerr which might work the same way.
I have a similar setup but only use it in my own home. I'm just curious, how do you share to your family? Do they watch exclusively on Mobile/Web (or maybe casting) or do you also push for them to pick-up some form of Android TV or something else that supports the Jellyfin app?
I could share to my family but I don't want to have to babysit them and I know unless it's incredibly simple, they won't bother with it or they'll both me with it every time.
Most already had Android TV built into their TVs, but I gifted a couple of them $20 Walmart Android TVs. Even changed what the Paramount and Disney buttons open up for them. They all got their own logins so our 'recently watched' and 'continue watching' is separate
I'm in love with the customization in Android TV, I even have it controlling my lights so I can dim them all with a button on the remote
You can cast from the Jellyfin app too, but it's not as nice.
People need to be more educated when it comes to VPN and piracy. Your setup is pretty awesome with that combo.
The Plex pass pays for itself.
Never had to pay for my Jellyfin install beyond a donation.
What's the up and downs for Jellyfin?
Try it out yourself and see what bothers you.
Some couldnt care less about features that are the sole reason they chose a platform.
And Jellyfin can be used together with plex until you decide they ditch either of them.
casting from the app is not perfect, but using the Android TV app is flawless
Do you torrent directly from your jellyfin box or do you have a seedbox that then sync to jellyfin?
I want to do a jellyfin setup, and wondering if I want a seedbox or directly torrent.
If you are in a trigger happy country the 2nd option or with a vpn.
If your country couldnt care less the 1st.
Seedbox then. Don't need to worry then
Yes and no.
Seedboxes with proper storage and a good service are hard to come by. Even more if you want public trackers.
My 2TB costs me 16€ because I have an old service plan but seedbox.io was one of the rare options to allow public and their support is honestly amazing and quick to respond and fix.
Much faster than myself in responding to tickets :p
Thanks for the info, I will look into that.
I used this exact guide: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487, I have Jackett and QBittorrent on the same Linux server as Jellyfin. Files are moved automatically into the media folders after downloads complete
Are you in a country where ISP are forwarding your information to the copyright holders?
I will check the link. Thanks
