You absolute madlad!! Thank you for providing this. I am in the middle of migrating to a new home server and as part of that process, moving away from Plex to Jellyfin. This will be a big help in testing things out and figuring out the idea setups for my use case (like streaming to Apple TVs) ahead of the actual migration. Not to mention some great ideas for movies to snag I wasn't aware of ;) Sending a couple of coffees your way!!

It looks like we have a fairly similar library size and I've always wanted to be able to offer something like this to folks as a way for giving back for all the years of media I've been able to gather and enjoy - but I have never felt confident enough in my networking skills to let the vast majority of my services see anything outside of the LAN, let alone provide it to other people. I hope with this new lab environment I am going for I can get to that point, but if you have any pointers I am all ears! 😀 Thanks again, matey!

Thank you very much! Unfortunately after confirming the information in the signup dialog, it says "Please wait" and hangs. Is it me?

Edit: It works on the second try on the computer, thanks again

thank you!! How can I buy you a coffee?

Invalid Code :(

How does your create account system with invite codes work? Is jellyfin tied to another system for account management?

OMG, that's an amazing effort. Definitely saving it!

You forgot the number one rule about the usenet: you don't talk about the usenet.

is there a good guide you followed?

fmhy and trying a couple options always worked out for me

Yep, this is my setup. I did the whole *arr apps, Plex and Usenet setup for years, but hated dealing with storing the files. It also didn’t help when my 8TB drive decided to act up and make files inaccessible.

Now I stream everything through Stremio with RD+. Works on every device flawlessly.

I don’t understand how streaming became so popular

Have you ever found yourself using someone else's PC for some reason and they've got 20 browser toolbars, 3 anti-viruses and no ad blocker, and they've just been using computers that way forever, thinking it's perfectly normal?

Yea, some people have extremely low standards.

It’s like watching nothing but cam copies except half the time the files won’t load.

I dunno what sites you tried but this hasn't been my experience, especially if I'm just going through whatever current season of show XYZ is running. Even recent movies don't generally have cam quality unless you're trying to watch them very close to the release date.

Sometimes you get broken links or stop and start with load times and in those cases I'll take the time to fire up TPB, but mostly it's been no problem finding decent quality streams that load right away, and that's been true for me for at least 15 years since using shit like icefilms back then.

Thanks this is perfect

Oh, but I will. For it to be a fork of enby, it's fucking amazing how bad the androidTV app is in comparison. The media player has improved,but its still way slower then using an external one,which is weird. It also freezes for a solid 5 seconds minimum every time I swap subtitles (while the vlc external player does it on the fly), and it makes me change subtitles every single time I load a chapter. Envy's player lets the user set a preferred subtitle language and it makes an effort to preselect one. Not only that,but you can seal that on a series basis and you can select the subtitle before starting the video on the user interface.

It has improved since I last tried it and at least it doesn't die while transcoding or whatever, but the difference in performance of the android app/web version to the androifTV app is crazy. It would be better to adapt the android/web version of the app the manage a TV input than make the androidTV app actually useable...

Besides that its amazing :)

I rescind most of what I said because I just checked that the android app has TV casting (it didnt last time I checked) and the android app does have the preselecting and the player is waaaay smoother. Its comical that casting is a better user experience then using the native app but whatever.

This is what I use. Stremio, Torrentio add-on for Torrent sources, and a bit of tinkering so I don't see the paid options. Works pretty well for single episodes of some shows (for others I download the box set).

Edit: I mean it works for full shows, but when I really like a show enough I'll have a hard drive copy.

Yeah Debrid + Stremio and you're set.

Popcorn time and the Torrent plugin for stremio are nice but are leech-central and not sustainable if everyone did that without seeding
