Weird, jellyfin always seems to have it.

    Though they seem to keep making it harder and harder to buy egitimate harder copies of the content I want.

    "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell

    This quote is relevant far too often

    Kind of. But when Amazon has the option to rent a movie for $3, and all I have to do is click that button and it will stream instantly, I still NEVER click that button. It's not really a service issue, because it's available instantly at just the click of a button.

    It's more of a principal issue. Like why the fuck am I paying all this money for all these streaming services and you still want to charge me even more? Makes piracy an easy choice.

    I still see it as a service issue. I can only watch it once or for a very short time. That's not the service I'm looking for.

    I don't even need hard copies, just give me the ability to buy a DRMless file I can run on any of my devices for a fair price. I don't even necessarily need to be able to download it again in the future if that makes it cheaper. I can back my shit up myself.

    If you've heard of plex, it's that but you don't have to pay money to access your own content.

    If you haven't, it's a media server and client program that organizes your backups of dvds and definitely nothing else

    Yeah you definitely can't set up an automated system to grab releases of cool shows and stuff then send it to a torrent client to download before being sorted into jellyfin libraries.

    Oh cool! So I can stream stuff on the go for free?

    Yes and no. You could, in theory, put it behind a reverse proxy, but you shouldn't without further security measures.

    You could put your server in a tailnet (tailscale, there are FOSS alternatives, but those are more difficult to set up), which is extremely, easy to configure, and allows every device in it (smartphones, tablets, computers...) to access your media server.

    The only cost is of obtaining the media you wish to stream, using whatever method you wish to aquire it.

    Home media server with huge security holes for remote streaming.

    "Hugely overblown", you mean.
