“Militant foss” reads like the old saying “militant atheist”…

Yes, that was very much the comparison I was going for.

Also I’m already taking my own advice here and generally don’t go around lecturing people on things they didn’t asked for.

I don’t mind power users in general … but holy molly the militant foss and privacy advocates can be really annoying. Better not mention any proprietary software or you’ll get a dozens answers to a question no one asked.

Got 100 mbps up … because that’s all I can currently get at home. It’s enough to support a handful of streams but can max out quickly when I’m also doing file or torrent uploads. But for now it just has to do.

Do you make your users pay for access?

Of course not, I don’t want to become what I hate.

For remote streaming access, sure. But I don’t see a problem otherwise.

I do own my server. It’s in my living room.

Is there something better than jellyfin?

Plex.

It’s a bunch of programs to setup automated torrent downloads. No idea what it has to do with setting up jellyfin, though.

Even is plex is “bad” now, it’s still years ahead of jellyfin.

Right, but considering that OP is already running a media server and also is looking for a way to curated his library, I don’t see how switching to on-device storage would be anything but a downgrade.

So you only listen to music on one device? If not, do you swap the SD card between devices all the time or do you have a separate SD card for all devices? How do you keep them in sync, transfer playlists, etc? What if you have more than 2TB?

Yeah, go local as in: Run your own media server and stream from that.

But only keeping music files on the end device is a step in the wrong direction.

1450 anime

Since you listed them separately from shows does the count also include anime movies?

Still, if I add up both my shows and movie I’m at 1447. Damn you!

Haha, I get one of those every other day.

1911 TV shows (65728 episodes)

2294 Movies

5051 Albums (66644 songs)

65.37 TB total.

Plex Server + Plexamp.

Yep both, especially searchig for specific episode titles which are very often not included in the filenames. Or with anime, where many shows can have half a dozend different titles.

Also to keep track of what I watched and being able to easily resume watching on a different platform.

I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend.

I’m closing in on 80 and I feel a very strong need for one :)

Now if I build one myself something I’ve never done is it easy to just move my storage over and not lose any data and be able to access it?

No can’t just plug the HDDs into the new machine like you would when switching to another synology. You’ll have to copy the data to your new machine.

I might be a problem if you are logged out of your plex account while offline. But I didn’t have to login for years on either of my clients. You can also give special access to local IP addresses on LAN to ignore authentication. But yeah, that’s a bit hidden in the settings.
