Cool, I was planning to cancel this month anyway. I just finished ripping all of our DVDs and Blurays, so I have quite a bit of content ready to go. I have told my wife and kids I'll buy whatever they want, within reason, and rip it to our private streaming service. I think we'll end up saving quite a bit of money eventually this way, and we have no ads with our self-hosted video service.

What software are you using to self host and serve your library?

Jellyfin. I was previously just using minidlna, but Jellyfin has an app for our TV and looks much nicer than the basic interface dlna offers.

I'm running it on an old PC running Linux, and it was pretty easy to set up.

Excellent choice. My jellyfin server is great, there are buggy things but I'm committed to the foss lifestyle

[–] whats_all_this_then@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Jellyfin isn't perfect, but by god it's incredible! I've trued to contribute but the obly stuffeft is stuff I don't fully understand :(

Maybe one day...

What are you using as a firewall?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just what comes with my Linux distribution: firewalld. It seems to work well.

Don't know about OP, but Plex works great! Get a Synology NAS and run your Plex server on that

[–] kalpol@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Plex is pretty commercialized these days and I don't doubt they're likely selling your data.

Yeah, the server isn't FOSS, so I'm not bothering. Jellyfin is FOSS and gets the job done.
