      Anyone used Jellyfin?

      I looked at it, but haven't set up a media server yet. I need to for our music collection.

      I'm about to start the process of music conversion. Several thousand CDs to convert so that I don't need to store them anymore. What a pain that is going to be.

            No analog capture card for the player? So sad, should be relatively inexpensive for a usb model.

              Correction, installed it tonight. I'll load the music library into it overnight tonight.

                  Spinning up a VM now to transfer a few things onto and see how it goes.

                    I know it's a fork of Emby. I'm not a fan of Mono/.net apps, so I'm sticking to Plex. Also lack of Apple TV app makes it non-starter now. If they add that, I might give it a shot. I know Emby has AMD hardware acceleration, I would assume Jellyfin has it too, that's one thing I'm missing in Plex.

                      My god how big is your NAS/Server?

                      It's in ATX tower case. 90TB is in Google Drive. Locally I have 4x2TB SSD in raidz pool.

                        I thought that they had AppleTV now on their site.

                          https://jellyfin.org/clients/

                          Still nothing. Airplay as a workaround, maybe Emby client could work. But all that has extremely low Wife Approval Factor, so no joy.

                          Edit: I missed Infuse app, so looks like it's viable now.

                            don't you have to keep the media to prove you have license to the rip? or is the new location you're moving to not care about such things?

                              OK, that's seemingly less crazy.. but still - what the heck is your monthly bill for that?

                                  Well, yes, when in the US. Legally I don't need them elsewhere. But I don't plan to dispose of them, just transfer them into very tight, not easy to access, storage.

                                      Can you store them on a spool, instead of cases? Thousands of cases, or even sleeves take a lot of space.

                                        I looked at it, but haven't set up a media server yet. I need to for our music collection.

                                        I'm about to start the process of music conversion. Several thousand CDs to convert so that I don't need to store them anymore. What a pain that is going to be.

                                        don't you have to keep the media to prove you have license to the rip? or is the new location you're moving to not care about such things?

                                        Well, yes, when in the US. Legally I don't need them elsewhere. But I don't plan to dispose of them, just transfer them into very tight, not easy to access, storage.

                                        Can you store them on a spool, instead of cases? Thousands of cases, or even sleeves take a lot of space.

                                        I can, and some I have done that. Surprisingly the spools don't take up much less space, though. The cases we have are insanely dense and sit on shelves better, I think.

                                            https://gsuite.google.com/signup/business/welcome?hl=en

                                            You need a domain to sign up, but that can be as low as $0.50/year.
