    I thought Jellyfin was just a self-hosted client/server for the media you already possess…? Are you just being tongue-in-cheek and I’m whooshing a ref to #SailingTheHighSeas, or am I missing something about Jellyfin?

      You don’t have to sail the high seas to have jellyfin. You can legitimately backup your physical media to it.

      Yeah I was just joking haha. Treating Jellyfin like a real streaming service because it is effectively that when you automate it.

      Just to be clear, you can (and many do) use jellyfin to just access the stuff you own. It’s a convenient way to always have all your DVD/br available. And music library. And eBooks.

      High seas need not be involved.
