Hey Hosters!
Just wanted to share that I got Jellyfin installed and set up on my Windows 2022 Server, and it’s working great! I didn’t even know there was a version for WIndows. How do you like that?
I know this is probably “the usual” for everyone here, but I’m genuinely excited that I managed to get it all running smoothly.
After getting the server up, I went through the basics (users/permissions, library paths, and making sure everything was reachable on the network) and it all just worked. The interface is super clean, playback is nice and responsive, and it feels like I’ve been missing out on this until now.
Huge thanks to the Jellyfin team and the community! This project is awesome!! If anyone is stuck, please don’t give up. keep poking at the configuration and it’ll pay off. Now I just need to spend some time organizing my libraries!
Happy Hosting!
Interactive media like menus is a nightmare to support. Kodi has some support but only on pc. Also to your last sentence it’s a grey area, if you rip the disk to any format you’re essentially violating copyright because making a copy requires circumventing encryption, which violates the dmca (assuming USA). Might as well just use makemkv then, unless you’re real serious about archiving literally everything
In Germany, creating safety copies of media that does not have copy protection is perfectly legal.
Basically all commercial dvds with the exception of stuff like some independent releases and essentially all blurays have copy protection (CSS for dvd and AACS for bluray, for bluray it’s built into the spec)
They’re both fairly trivially defeated (for dvd extremely so because CSS is completely broken, whereas br has key revocation so it’s technically a bit more complex though practically this doesn’t mean much)
I don’t know much about Germanys laws but iirc they are one of the places that takes piracy and torrenting more seriously, no?
