Comment on Studios are cracking down on some of the internet’s most popular pirating sites

I cancelled my Disney+ subscription of 2+ years because offline playback isn’t reliable and they raised prices to the point where it’s cheaper for me to buy the physical media I want, rip it, and use Jellyfin to play those offline. If I wasn’t so stubborn about paying for content, I’d just pirate it and do the same.

Why are you using Jellyfin to play offline media? Isn’t the point of Jellyfin to have access to your media through a network?

I stream it to my TV and other devices, and my plan is to download them offline in the app for our tablets so we can watch stuff on the road. I’d really rather not stream my videos over LTE or whatever in the middle of nowhere.

Ah, offline downloads via Jellyfin, makes sense now.

For me it’s easier to rip it once and then have it available on my tv, phone, or computer. It can also remember what episode is next. Plus no annoying mandatory commercials every time you put the disk in the player.

Right but, and I understand you aren’t the person I was originally replying to, they said offline. Offline, so NOT on all these devices out there in the world. Tha to would very much imply ONLINE.

If youre only streaming it within your home network that could still be very much offline…

It’s just for home lan use.
