I have no idea, but I’m commenting so this gets traction. I’ve wanted to do the same thing, but didn’t know how you could set up the subsonic api to do that. I think a script that checked for the file first wouldn’t be a problem, but getting the metadata for all of those would be terrible

Thank you, do you run this with overseer?

Thanks, we tend to watch things once then not again, I figure 12TB across 4 drives should hold that pretty well? I just want a buffer of like, 5 episodes per show. Once watched, auto-delete. This should be enough storage no?

 

Background:

Over Covid, I got really into high quality music and purchased the best headphones I could afford (ATH-MX50) and listened frequently. Once I discovered Jellyfin, a whole new world opened up to me and I began to self-host movies as well as my FLAC library.

Present: My parents want to cut the cord and I would like to help them by setting up a server for them. I’m techy and can handle some troubleshooting.

Requirements:

  • I’d like for it to have at least 5 profiles, no more than 2 concurrent streams
  • I’d like to add things to a “queue” from my phone and manage my downloads like that
  • 4k media, perhaps transcodes to 1080p, but the local media is 100% 4k
  • Be able to SSH (or alternative) for remote debugging

Questions: What hardware should I buy? I’ve built PCs, so mostly, what cpu and how much storage should I go for? I can afford quite a bit, so I’d like to buy the right tool for the job once with upgrades to storage as needed. I know Jellyfin handles profiles, does Jellyseer handle the ability to automate downloads? Is this something the .arr stack can do?

Thank you for all your help, any advice is VERY appreciated. I just want to help my parents cut the cord

Yes, regulations should be in place, but the “legalized bribery” isn’t forcing people, it’s just easier to stick with the status quo than change it. They aren’t forced to die, it’s just a lot of work to not. The social contract is there, it’s just one we don’t like

You said “a social contract”. Capitalism operates on one. “The social contract” as you presumably intend to use it here is different. Yes, capitalism allows those with money to generate money, but a disproportionate distribution of wealth is not violation of a social contract. I’m not arguing for deregulation, FAR from it, but the social contract is there. If a corporation is doing something too unpopular then people don’t work for them and they cease to exist.

Capitalism, at least, in a lassie-faire marketplace, operates on a social contract, fiat money is an example of this. The market decides, the people decide. Are there ways to amass a certain amount of money to make people turn blind eyes? For sure, but all systems have their ways to amass power, no matter what

What watch, in your opinion, is worth the cost? I’d like something a little nice, but tend to only buy quality items so I don’t re-buy

This the only thing that keeps me on lemmy. I will happily moderate if no one else would like to. Please don’t shut it down

I think this is an issue with people being offended by definitions. Slavery did “help” the economy. Was it right? No, but it did. Mexico’s drug problem helps that economy. Adolf Hitler was “effective” as a leader. He created a cultural identity for people that had none and mobilized them to a war. Ethical? Absolutely not. What he did was horrendous and the bit should include a caveat, but we need to be a little more understanding that it’s a computer; it will use the dictionary of the English language.

Almost like there should be one central hub… that’s what Reddit did right

Maybe I need to be on ml then. I feel like world is just full of the same.

Maybe it’s because the content here just isn’t as vast. I’m nkt going back to reddit for awhile, but there’s so little to see on lemmy to me. Despite numerous subscriptions, I see very few memes and far too much political content. Of that political content it’s all the same. Sometimes this place feels like a hive-mind. Not that Reddit wasn’t, but it depended on the sub. Now it’s shaped by instance and everything here just feels stale
