Q The Misanthrope

I kind of am, but radarr has an editions field which it uses for the file and that seems to be incomplete or inconsistent for my files. It wasn’t a problem before but changing so many at once requires good data first.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve used Plex for so long with manual file name and folder changes so it covered up my issue and now I’m correcting it.

I still have to update the jellyfin title manually though. Jellyfins versions only work with multiple versions of the same file, not if you only have one version in the library that I want labeled as a special edition or something.

I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

Do what works for you and them.

Congrats. I’m super particular about covers and naming and the conversion of file names that Plex needed to jellyfin is intensive.

I finally got got JF up and running but still working on adding edition names to each item that is special. I really wish there was an editions field so it wasn’t a manual title update. At least I can lock the field afterwards.

The onn boxes run android so it’s just installed as an app from play store. The users connect with their own tailscale account. My server is shared so they see it. Then they install jellyfin on the device, punch in the hostname of the server given by tailscale and the port and then it connects.

I could not get my reverse proxy to let them use my local domain… I’m not smart enough and couldn’t figure it out but they are only using jellyfin so typing one address was fine.

This is also what I do, however, each user creates their own tailnet, not an account on mine and I share the server to them.

This way I keep my 3 free users for me, and other people still get to see jellyfin.

Tailscale and jellyfin in docker, add server to tailnet and share it out to your users emails. They have to install tailscale client in a device, login, then connect to your jellyfin. My users use Walmart Onn $30 streaming boxes. They work great.

I struggled for a few weeks to get it all working, there’s a million people saying “I use this” but never “this is how to do it”. YouTube is useless because it’s filled with “jellyfin vs Plex SHOWDOWN DEATH FIGHT DE GOOGLE UR TOILET”.

I love Truenas so much. I’m growing into its capabilities every day.

I bought an IT Mode flashed hba on eBay for like $40. Fanless, and easy. Make sure it comes with the cables or buy those separately but don’t forget them.
