Anon sets the mood
(sh.itjust.works)
Anon needs Jellyfin.
I prefer NGINX with autoindex. Lightweight, no JavaScript, looks like every Linux ISO mirror, filenames already have all the required info, can be quickly searched with CTRL+F, fits perfectly to my laziness.
If you want some improvement, you can use FancyIndex module.
But the files need to be in codecs supported by your browser(s). I prefer AV1+Opus in WebM container which have been supported by Firefox for a while. At this point it's really only Safari not fully supporting AV1 because it relies on hardware decoding and Apple wants you to buy new hardware.
That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm into it.
The biggest issue with that is it requires all of your media to be in a flat folder for search to work right.
Auto index has a mode to return results in json. With a touch of html and js you can make a page that will crawl the directory tree and build a simple searchable cache of name to path, and then you can play it from there. It ends up making a request per folder, but in realistic terms it's not gonna be enough to actually be noticable.
You can then use something like this on a cron to convert anything your browser can't play and you're pretty close to a minimalist media server with only static files.
The one I used to use was just a bash script so I didn't have to wrangle python modules, but I can't seem to find it.
I ended up dropping it when I bought a nas with all that stuff built in and it generally made my life easier. Worth the money if you can afford it.

Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
When you're torrenting and you're planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you're watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can't find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren't going to be in the same room, you'll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that's low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally you'd block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.
I have none of these issues, but I use Usenet soo...
Honestly though if push comes to shove Stremio and RealDebrid can work wonders provided your internet is actually fast enough.

Yeah my ex wife initially made fun of my server with my Plex media on it...
Guess what she wanted after our divorce? That's right Plex.
If she scoffs at your media setup she's wrong for you.
My ex told me she never ever wanted to talk to me ever again, ever!
Next week she texted me asking access my plex server.
torrent ahead of time?
anon is a dumbfuck.
You can also press one button to configure a torrent to download first and last, allowing you to play a video while it streams in.
Anon can’t even torrent right, she just got scared that he’d be too stupid to put on the condom right.
This is why you have a server running jellyfin qbittorent, Jackett, sonarr, radarr, all behind a good VPN.
Anon is obviously a noob and deserves the walkout.
do you know of any good guides that explain how to set up a full stack like this? I've been meaning to level up my movie watching game but don't know how these services interact with each other

The iPad with VLC works great for portability too.
But that means you use a Apple device so you are a noob and deserve the walkout.

What's with the "ooga booga woman scared by tech" meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it's not like it's underground.
And just have it downloaded? "Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then." Then start the download. If it's popular, you'll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she's that "confused" by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can't imagine setting something up would make them leave? "Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a... A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???"
I don't know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya'll.
"What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?" Boy, bye
I like your comment because it tells me why I didn't found this that much funny.

I'm choosing to interpret it as her getting skeeved out over anon not having their shit together.
>not downloading the movie in advance
>not knowing about the "download in sequential order" option on the client that lets you start watching quickly

Tech literacy has peaked hard with millenials.
Don't think it is about women being scared by tech, but "normies" only really knowing how to use Netflix to watch a movie.

My family has learned not to ask questions, just tell me the name of the movie or TV show in signal, and Ill let you know when its on plex.
I know they dont understand. I see their glassy eyes staring past me if the compel me to explain. 'But who puts it there, and what motivates them?' they ask. They do not see the irrationally of their line of inquiry.
But they have learned now. No questions, no complaints, just leave me a muffin when I've done a good job.
She just got filtered. Another successful test by anon.
Look, there are enough women in the world for you to stop thirsting after someone who's just not right for you
If you're geeky you need a girlfriend that at least vibes with that even if she's not into it herself for fucks sake
Mostly what i see is a lack of preparedness. If i had a date over the movie would be downloaded and the TV plugged in a week in advance.

Torrent. Phht. Who got the time for that. Sonarr/Radarr/emby(or whichever u prefer) Enter title, wait a minute (unless u r on slow net or prefer 4k remux) and watch. Enter Series-name,go to bed. Enjoy 12 full seasons tomorrow.
Totally hasslefree, no stupid trackers or missing seeder or waiting-time. Movie was posted 10yrs ago? No problem. Still there, still fullspeed. Device not certified for netfucks or rooted? Who cares?
And when your lady asks "why can we watch this, this is not on Netflix" you can reply "what is netflix? I'm a pro"
Sonarr and radarr aren't going to do what you claim without a Usenet client to do the actual downloading. So on top of your *arrs you also have to pick a quality indexer, find and pay for a Usenet provider, and set up your download client. And preferably use a nicer frontend for finding the content a la Overseerr or Ombi. And probably Bazarr to get subtitles for all the anime/foreign language content. Also good luck getting good, consistent releases automatically without some serious dedication to setting up your quality profiles.

That was a close save! I wouldn’t fuck a blind consumer with your dick…
But how about someone else's?
Switch to streaming and use ad blockers. It will be 720/ 1080p max, though. Most people won't notice. There's a guide/ wiki on a specific lemmy community.
Also, be honest. Your partner might be tech savvy and not be able to afford entertainment as well. Go for it. That's how I found my partner.
Not able to afford?
If there was a reasonably-priced ad-free service you could pay for to get complete shows, many would do it.
But this is a joke: https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/where-to-watch-pokemon-episodes-movies
Anon doesn't know about streaming sites.
One site, no torrents, legally good(so far), and all you need is basic ad-blocks to enjoy a Netflix like experience with a better interface.
She deserved a pirate Chad, and she knew it, he has spaghetti falling out his pockets like a soyjack.
Torrents tend to be more reliable quality; around here, they're both equal in legality/illegality, and you don't have to think about your Internet connection.
The actual trick is having done it earlier, not trying on the couch right beforehand.
In many places there is a big legal distinction between consuming and distributing copyrighted content, when torrenting you are doing both.
You can opt out of seeding it's just not very nice

Just rename Jellyfin into DisneyFlix++ or whatever.
Or use Kodi with that Netflix skin.
Or just share screen from your phone on TV.
You phone is always on VPN to home network, right?
Anon's gf is a normie
Setup Servarr and get all the women
My wife has learned the way of stremio and loves it, there is hope!
