First, child services has been called on multiple occasions and has done nothing. The police don’t care either. They’re disabled so they can’t just leave.

They have a laptop that they can use whenever they want but their patent is extremely opposed to piracy and won’t pay for my friend to buy movies or a streaming service. They watch DVDs from the library on their laptop.

They’re also not tech savvy so I need a plug and play solution that will allow them to pirate media without anyone else in the household being aware of it.

          I don’t want to condone his attitude, but from my POV I think he/she has had enough of Jellyfin being the Linux of Windows (if that makes sense in a sentence).

          This is like a lost battle on Lemmy though.

      Whoa, no need to get offended so quickly, have you considered providing anything to the debate instead of being that unconstructive?

        You are the one being unconstructive. Jellyfin is a mess and not remotely feature parity with Plex. OP needs something simple that just works out of the box. Plex answers that call. Jellyfin doesn’t. Go away.

          It’s really simple to set up and works perfectly. Download the software (optimally docker), add a reverse proxy (if you want SSL with a domain), add folders with movies and you’re good to go. Also Plex’s pricing is pretty steep for something a free and open source program can do perfectly.

            I’m reasonably tech savvy and I was lost about thirty seconds into reading Docker documentation. OP asked for a very simple solution, and Docker alone is anything but simple.

            Yeah… This is self explanatory…

              It’s really not that hard, and if it is I’m more than willing to help anyone with it ^^

              Plex’s “simplicity” is not worth 100€ and the risk of enshittification, as it has to connect to their servers for authentication.

                It is harder than Plex though, with it you only need to get the installer and you are done, that if you are not CGNATED ofc…

                Plex’s “simplicity” is not worth 100€ and the risk of enshittification, as it has to connect to their servers for authentication.

                I can’t even recall since when I am a Plex Pass user, but it has been some years already that’s for sure, I got the lifetime tier in a deal years ago and I have never felt the enshitification for my usage (which now paired with RD + Zurg+ Riven has only improved LMAO).

                And if they decided to “enshitify” to a degree that would affect my setup (highly unlikely) Jellyfin and Emby still are there for sure.

                Also good luck running Jellyfin in locked systems such as a PS4 or PS5… I was amazed several years ago when I watched a movie with my PSVR in that god awful low resolution in my PS4 through Plex lol.
