      If you’ve heard of plex, it’s that but you don’t have to pay money to access your own content.

      If you haven’t, it’s a media server and client program that organizes your backups of dvds and definitely nothing else

        Yeah you definitely can’t set up an automated system to grab releases of cool shows and stuff then send it to a torrent client to download before being sorted into jellyfin libraries.

          The only cost is of obtaining the media you wish to stream, using whatever method you wish to aquire it.

          Yes and no. You could, in theory, put it behind a reverse proxy, but you shouldn’t without further security measures.

          You could put your server in a tailnet (tailscale, there are FOSS alternatives, but those are more difficult to set up), which is extremely, easy to configure, and allows every device in it (smartphones, tablets, computers…) to access your media server.

            Upvote for Tailscale. I don’t use it for media streaming but my frigate server with my pet cams is on there. Really great for a free service.

      Basically self hosted streaming. If you havent already set it up you’re missing out, choose what content you want to watch, no ads, watch it however you like…
