Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

Literally, and I mean literally, just downloaded this yesterday because I was tired of using Syncthing to pass media files back and forth between my phone and my NAS.

Plex is a shit show, charging you to view remote files.

Got any recommendations on where to put together a decent setup? The documentation seems a bit sparse.

The "best" setup (simplest to maintain, not to set up), is using docker to host jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, transmission with wireguard VPN, and prowlarr for all of your media needs. Jellyfin plays stuff, sonarr manages shows, radarr: movies, lidarr: music, prowlarr: your sources for said media. Transmission + wireguard VPN for the downloading.

But then you are getting into self hosting stuff which opens up a whole good, but time consuming rabbit hole

I posted a different link earlier. But this one is more educational.

For self hosting I recommend Yunohost. It allows you to install a lot of stuff with just one click but you can still install things manually if you want.

I run Jellyfin in Docker on a Pi4 and it works great. The only problem are x265 files, because Jellyfin tries to transcode them and the Pi cannot handle that.

You can disable that, I did that too. I don't have any issue playing h.265 or even AVI on any of my devices.

How did you disable it? I would love to just have a direct stream, but I can't find an option for that anywhere.

[-] Fisch@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You have to change it for each user. Go to the users settings and scroll down, under Media Playback there are options to allow audio and video transcoding. I still have audio transcoding on but that doesn't seem to cause any issues.

I tried that, but then it won't play any HVEC video.

Do you use the flatpak version on Linux? I'm a bit of a noob but I think due to flatpak sandboxing it can't access your home folder or something, so I had this problem where it could only access my /media/ external HDD.

Aside from that, I just make folders named something unambiguous like "jellyfin documentaries", make a jellyfin directory from the control panel, name it something like "documentaries" link the two and then add the documentaries and then scan the libraries. (i may have misunderstood your question lol sry, English is my 2nd Lang)

https://perfectmediaserver.com/ Check that out, one of the guys who is a main personality of the self-hosted podcast made that website. It's all about setting up automations to download movies and TV shows automatically and stuff.
