I haven’t promoted anything illegal. The whole point of applications like Radarr and Sonarr is to manage a video library.

While I would recommend the *arrs applications, Tiny Media Manager will do exactly what you’re looking for. The only downside is that if you want it to grab subtitles for you, then you have to purchase a yearly, but cheap, license.

Thanks for sharing this. I just started looking into this the other day.

I wouldn’t recommend most of the cheap Android boxes. Most of the are full of malware. LTT did a video comparing most major Android boxes: https://youtu.be/sdLnieL90d0?si=6nAX8E0d9c4OZXqM

I totally get it. I just happen to work on the IT team that manages our companies mobile devices, so I’m not too fused about the privacy implications of putting some personal things on a work device. I know my personal data is kept separate, and I have backups of any data that is important.

Whatever work pays for

All existing licenses will stay lifetime. Basic and Plus will no longer be sold, but they will still be honoured.

While I personally use Unraid, something similar you can do is use MergerFS and SnapRAID. This will provide you with similar functionality to Unraid, where you can pool your drives together and create a parity disk. Open media vault has easy plugins for both SnapRAID and MergerFS.

You can also use SnapRaid along side MergerFS to provide some data redundancy. MergerFS will allow you to create a parity drive, without requiring all of your drives to be in your typical RAID pool. This way, if you have several drives die, then you can still access whatever data is available on the remaining drives.

A Raspberry Pi will work as a Jellyfin server, but it will really struggle if it has to transcode any media.

If you want your Jellyfin server to be up and accessible at all times, I would suggest getting a second hand PC. I’m personally a fan of small form factor mini PCs. Anything with a 7th gen Intel processor or newer, with integrated graphics, will be able to hardware transcode anything but AV1.

Carls Jr. didn’t decide to place their add on your TV. Google is the one that would be held responsible.

On top of an adblocker, I use Pi-hole/Adguard home for DNS blocking.

For added privacy, I also use my own unbound DNS server, which can be easily setup with Pi-hole, so that I make as few external DNS requests as possible.
