I just keep my hard drives full of movies and tv shows. I am a datahoarder who operates constantly on the assumption that internet access in my region might permanently go down tomorrow.
Jellyfin?
Plex.
I set up a Plex last year but found out my Internet upload speed was too slow to share it with anyone
Jellyfin straight up doesn't work for me. I can install it and point it at the right directories and it'll just say "nah bud, these folders are empty. Also, enjoy this Windows Registry error on boot forever, even after uninstall!"
This is the only non-linux device in my life, basically a Steam and Plex server.
You installed Jellyfin on windows?
Huge mistake, I know. Unfortunately I have one computer I can't switch off of windows because I have a windows mixed reality headset and use it regularly.
The one windows mixed reality user on earth is on hexbear?
Everything Plex has done lately has me anxiously checking if Jellyfin has made any significant progress every month or so lol
Yep! Same here, and the answer has been "lol no" every time. I have a lifetime Plex pass at least, but who knows how much longer before they'll just start undercutting that.
I'm gunna' thrive in the no-internet but somehow electricity future.
