But I don't, I have a beautiful plex server instead
>he still subscribes to plex
>subscribes to plex
moron.
hey anon do you know how to setup jellyfin so that my friends can use it outside of my network? I've tried various guides and none have worked
also if you want more help you'd be better off asking
Go to your router page and set up a port forward. The default for jellyfin's settings is 8096.
Assuming you set the right settings inside jellyfin, you should be able to connect to your server by entering http:// *your public IP address* :8096
I did this to share shit with my parents and itbworked, but I was then told it was extremely dangerous to just open yourself up like that without a bunch of security shit, panicked and backed out. How risky is it?
Kinda risky, you little Nginx setup won't resist any serious attack. Much better to set up a reverse VPN honestly.
What this anon
said. Just buy a domain from israelitegle, it's cheap. Then you can do <domain>:<port>. These services don't work too well outside of the local network FYI
How does it even work?
basically the same as Plex
have movie folder
add movie folder to Jellyfin
watch movie from anywhere with nice ui
Eh I got a lifetime sub for £40 when they first came out. I'm doing alright.
I bought my perpetual license what feels like over a decade ago. I got my money’s worth. Running a NAS with Plex +Jackett + Sonarr + Radarr is peak kino.
Yeah jellyfin is better
i used to download a ton of music raw, no vpn, if i vpn now is it actually safe to start building up a film collection
im having trouble justifying the time investment of finding quality downloads, verifying their quality, and perhaps fixing their tagging etc. when i can find it all easy enough streaming free
Mediocre private tracker gets you blu ray rips
>download films
unless you're isp is dogshit, nobody cares, at most you'll get a letter (probably not even that) to tell you to "stop"
second point, yeah up to you, it's pretty easy to find high bitrate stuff on public trackers, general trackers Torrentleech open up pretty frequently so you can join them with ease if you really want to
yeah its just, ive been able to find all my movies and tv streaming with 1-2 minutes on google, up to 1080 even, i suppose i could get better quality on torrent but - whats the point? something to pass on to the kids i guess but i could pass on my internet literacy instead
yeah that's defs true, it's so easy to find shit nowadays that plex is kinda redundant
i see it more as a hobby anyway to manage my server which is fun for a datahoarding autist like myself
It’s better for building your own Netflix for your kids so that you can curate what they have access to.
i watch movies on my smart tv. i download movies and stream it through plex to watch on my tv instead of using the browser since those are moronic on tv's or hooking up an hdmi cord to my laptop every time i want to watch something. ease of access for me
i wouldnt necessarily say its redundant, only if youre on pc watching movies online or something
>talks about quality
>settles for streaming
You’re not getting quality through streaming, that’s for sure. Fricking moron.
>>I DIDN'T SUBSCRIBE TO IT I JUST PAID $100 FOR IT ONE TIME SO THAT MAKES IT OK
I didn't pay anything for it, idiot.
>I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT I JUST USED THE FREE VERSION WITH LESS FEATURES SO THAT MAKES IT OK
You are such a moron it's embarrassing. You don't even know what those features are or why anyone would need them.
Keep spamming though, hopefully it'll get you banned.
hardware transcoding
Plex plus feature that's free on Jellyfin, which I use
cope and seethe
>hardware transcoding
Guess what idiot? I don't have a GPU in my server, I don't give a shit.
>you can't name one of these features!
>*names a feature*
>ok but I don't care!
I accept your concession
You originally strawmanned by saying I'm still subscribed to Plex, and upon being proven wrong, you've been backpedaling hard ever since.
Just swallow your pride, accept you're a moron and move on.
>plex is shit in this way
>doesn't apply to me
>ok plex is shit in this way
>doesn't apply to me
>ok plex is shit in this way
>ok this does apply to me but I bet you can't name a single feature missing from plex
>here's one
>ok but I don't need that therefore there are no other features I'm missing
smartest plex user kek
>plex is shit in this way
You don't need to attempt to rewrite history, idiot.
You made a fool of yourself and you've backpedaled ever since.
having to pay for something another service offers for free, or settling for less features than another free service, does indeed make Plex shit.
I know I said cope and seethe but you're going a little overboard at this point.
Except I don't need those "services", idiot.
Plex works fine as it is, has a better interface than jellyfin, better automatic media detection. You tried to claim I bought the pass, and promptly got exposed as a complete moron 🙂
>I settle for shit so that makes that shit good
yeah I tried port forwarding and turning on remote access. thanks for the caddy suggestion, I shall look it up
Do you have to pay for plex? Tried watching sopranos and I had to pay for one episode 1.99$
This shit is gay
There's plex plus for extra features, but no, not to watch your own shit
So it's just like a storage place?
You install it in a PC with a shitload of movies saved and then you can watch them anywhere like Netflix.
Plex is for streaming all the shit on your own NAS to your tv or tablet.
You use plex to browse your torrent collection like Netflix with an app you can install on all the devices. Also let's you share your torrent collection with friends.
Plex's new 'we're a streaming service' angle is confusing as frick honestly. It's now hard to figure out what the frick it is if you didn't know before they started all that shit.
Plex is software you run on your own home machine. You point it at your media storage and it presents your movies/tv in a web interface that looks similar to online streaming services. You can punch it through your home router to be accessible from anywhere on the internet while you're away from home. You can also share it out to friends and family who can also access it over the internet.
Plex also happen to have a bunch of their own streaming content for free and paid that works just like netflix etc and is hosted by them, but you should ignore all of that because it's trash. The point of Plex is to install it yourself and host your media with it. Most TVs, tablets, phones and operating systems have native apps, too.
This
First thing anyone should do is disbale all of that gay shit, fricking plex have that shit off by default you israelites
If you can link me to the perfect, brain-dead easy way to setup a plex server I will do so tonight. I have a pi and everything.
Is reading the setup guide really that difficult? You just install the server, set your movie and TV show directories and it will just work.
For the better PVR setup (Sonarr, Radarr, Torrenting, etc), refer to:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6MCtOroZNDAfzOsef_NGxhNEggaPI6AF
This is for Unraid, but it can be applied to any Linux distribution, including whatever OS you have on your Pi.
>has to sign into plex
>plex has data breach
>his account credentials aren't unique for every single service
Have a friend with a private server and we download all the media we want and can watch it whenever for free, y'all are just absolutely stupid for subscribing to streaming sites. Plus you know you can find everything for free online with no headache if you have an adblocker
Fricking idiots every last one of you
>blocks your path
thats what i use but the maven's version with 4k dv support.
I just like collecting stuff, but only stuff I actually watch. If I download something it has to be something I'm actually interested in watching or something a family member wants to watch.
for example Bluey, only downloaded that because my niece loves that show and my sister can access my plex when she wants to watch it.
>no collections
pleb
I just throw everything in one folder, easier to browse that way.
>all those shows you'll watch maybe twice
lmao
homosexual
The video quality streaming to my Roku is shit.
I just use file explorer + VLC and play it on my 2nd monitor. Haven't used the TV in months
Is there a way to make movie channels like this?
IPTV.
>Anon this isn’t Netflix. And why’s it so slow? What do you mean you have to rename the folder before we can watch?
>meet Chinese guy on counter strike
>we become friends
>always late playing with him, start to complain about public trackers for torrents
>anon I invite you to the best Chinese private tracker
>get invited
>literally so many torrents movies, tv show, music etc
>full bluray ISOS, 4k ISOS, tv show bluray etc etc
>literally every torrent has a seeder, it’s like rutracker on crack
>even a request section
Never looked back since, I even donated $100 and got VIP status for life.
Add everything to a playlist > shuffle
its based
>too poor to afford a good server so i have to settle for SD quality tv and 720p movies
Imagine thinking any of that shit is even worth pirating.
BTW you dont have to set up a stupid program like plex when MPV/VLC exist.
Imagine being such a poorgay that a 10 dollar monthly subscription is even something you think about
>still using the poorgay cope
You're still a moron.
Homeservers cost hundreds of dollars to build and run with electricity costs. It's objectively more expensive than your shitty streaming subscription when everything gets taken into account.
In exchange, pirates get the absolute best quality for everything, no licensing restrictions, no spyware, full control of their data and don't have to support a pozzed industry. The best part is watching morons like yourself attempt to rationalize giving money to Netflix by trying to claim you're not poor.
Did you know people pay for plex server access
>not having 52000 movies?
show your collections, is it pretty and neat
its too big to show
Plex can't recognize any of my porn and I can't be assed to do it all manually.
I just put everything in Airflow and cast to my TV
>he still subscribes
In order to get past the basics you have to subscribe to Plex
The only thing you're missing is hardware transcoding
Because you don't know what you're missing since it's locked behind a paywall.
Are you moronic, obviously you can see what's behind plex pass and nothing there is of any relevance except hardware transcoding (which you get with an Nvidia shield server btw).
I don't think your cost calculation is accurate, if I would subscribe to every service in order to watch all the shows I want, it would cost more per month easily. I'm not the guy you're arguing with though
>I'm comfortable dismissing things I've never used and have no idea about
It's all "relevant" unless that means something different in your ESL homeland.
Are you moronic just go on the plex pass site, look at the benefits and see if this shit is of any relevance to your streaming experience. Spoiler alert it isn't you dumb c**t. Pretty funny to me that you don't seem to understand what relevance means
>are you moronic
>Seriously just read a website to find out if this actually useable music app works for you
>Or read about the server monitoring app
>It's just as helpful as actually using it
No, sorry. You're just wrong. There are tons of features that are really useful but you have no idea because you have no access to them.]
>relevant relevant relevant
Speaking of, whatever shithole country you're from (probably Australia) is completely irrelevant so that's probably why you think reading marketing copy is a good substitute for a full demo trial.
I will gladly pay 5 dollars a month to skip the intro... just like netflix...
>jellyfin client still doesn't support summary view
Still using Plex. Freetards never learn.
>torrent movie
>desktop pc connected to tv through long hdmi cable
>just use wireless keyboard to play movie through mpv
>mfw i love the simple life
Serious question is there any benefit to these programs compared to just torrenting and having files in folders on your pc?
When you boot up your TV and open plex, it's intuitive for others to use and it looks nice. Search and sort functions are pretty good and I can literally stream my library on the go anywhere in the world. I can just login to my. Plex at my buddies and watch movies from my library with them.
>Foreign language subtitles are still completely broken for no sane reason
Yeah. Plex just works until you find out it doesn't.
They are? That sucks, do you mean the ones you can download from opensubtitles or legit once you download with the actual file?
Both. It's way more complicated than it should be with numerous settings that are not clear on top of a system that SHOULD work flawlessly (sub file with same name as file should always be treated as forced subtitle and just work) but it does not work. It's a nightmare with TV series because more often than not you will have to manually select subs for every fricking episode or you'll never know what the Dothraki are saying.
Dunno, it's fun to set up and maintain
Instead of looking through hundreds of folders, everything is just in one spot
WWHERE MY EMBY BROS AT??????
You are heckin cute and valid
>download movie
>press the Cast to Device button
>watch movie on any device in my house
>no app or login
My way is better than any of these gay ass apps. And I never have to pull out the HDMI cord and connect it to my computer
