Right? I can feel bad about not offering my family the same quantity as the mainstream services, then I remember that while I don’t have 40,000 films I do have 5,000 handpicked by me, so no trawling. Also, I’ll never make my friends feel dependent on me as I make their home theatre experience better for free
5000 is more than what Netflix offers. They have about 3500 movies.
I’m really against the whole netflix experience. I don’t want a GUI getting between me and my media. Just VLC for me, thanks.
I have jellyfin for group viewing and sharing, but it’s actually just a bunch of symlinks to an NFS share, which is also exposed as a fileserver (caddy with basic auth)
So I can stream via jelly clients, or remotely stream/download files directly, or read straight off my local NAS.
Ah, I see, fellow
telnet starwarstel.netenjoyer.When did it stop being
towel.blinkenlights.nllol. I should have said a second GUI.
I’m interested in using VLC more for home viewing. Right now it’s my only option for playing my imaged DVDs on the fire stick. The interface is decent but I’m wondering if you know of a more normie friendly way to select titles, other than browsing a network share.
Not really, that’s what I do.
Played with it again yesterday. Interface is better than I remember but I think it viewed the .iso files as DVD directories, forcing me to pick a VOB file and deal with it.
Is that similar to your experience?
I haven’t used ISO much since my days of PC game piracy. I know VLC handles physical media with slight jankiness like what you’re describing though.
If they want a specific movie you could just add it. That’s how I do it, whenever we remember some movie or find something new I just add it. No need to have everything just what you actually want and if it’s good I’ll keep it there instead of deleting it when cleaning up from time to time.
So I have found that I use a folder everything new goes into and then if it’s worth keeping or I finally get the whole season it gets moved and properly organized into a permanent folder. Its been really good for keeping the stuff that isn’t worth it quarantined to be deleted.
Some shows and movies aren’t worth the hard drive space.
Yes! I have recently set up a Jellyseerr (Overseerr fork) service which really helps, as they can browse from a load of categories and I get their requests on my account and get it to download to the right directory.
