That's awesome. This is my next project. I want my kids to have a library of movies/shows that I've personally curated, instead of letting them loose on a handful of streaming services.
Do it! It's a bit tedious to rip everything, but you can always "rip" things by looking up whatever you need on the internet from less... copyright approved sources, which can help to seed the collection.
We happened to have a bunch of movies and shows, so I went ahead and ripped everything, and I ended up buying a Bluray drive and flashing open firmware onto it to rip those properly as well.
I'm planning to combine this project with learning how to set up a Linux machine (thanks Lemmy) as the media server and local backup storage for pictures/videos. Might as well learn how to do some safe sailing at the same time, I suppose.
Check out the servarr stack + jellyseerr for your sailing activities. It is very nice to have one ui to search in then everything is sorted and just appears in jellyfin when it is ready! I set it up on a home server running TrueNAS recently. The only thing i might have done differently is run proxmox as os and set up a TrueNAS as a VM for my storage needs instead.
Saving this, thanks.
Do you by any chance use AppleTV to watch jellyfin media? If so what app do you use? I couldn't get the only jellyfin app I was able to find to install for some reason.
No, just the app on my smart TV (LG). I'm considering getting a "dumb" TV to replace it, at which point I'll probably use a Raspberry Pi instead.
