It’ll only take a few minutes to setup. Once you get hooked you’ll spend a lot more time automating everything and adding more storage.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months agoLook into Plex servers, that should keep you busy for the next six months till you get it up and running.

Or Jellyfin. Because free.

That will keep you busy for a full year.

What are you talking about. First time I set it up, had it running on my local network in less than 5 minutes. 5 more minutes for external (granted, already had the infrastructure for that in place).
Then maybe 20min going through the settings to personalize my account? And maybe another 20min looking if there are any plugins I wanted to use.

It’s true, the setup with docker is easy and reliable. However, sorting and taking your media takes very long.

I don’t think it’s a year to setup the software. Rather a year to load it lol. I’ve spent probably close to 4 years loading content into my Plex server and I don’t see any end in sight.

People pull shit out of their asses to feel superior about things they don’t actually know anything about.

Is jellyfin a better alternative?
PlexSheep@feddit.de 8 months ago
Yes
Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 months ago
Yeah, it’s free and open source. I just pointed it at a few folders of TV, movies and music that I downloaded years ago, and it catalogued them all, downloaded all the blurbs and posters.
Like a mini Netflix that you host yourself.

Sounds great. I’ll just need to take the time to actually do it

The Android TV app seems better too.
