Hello everyone,
Greetings from New Zealand, where we are well into spring. I have been using Jellyfin for a month or so. I run it on Windows. Normally I would run it on Linux but I have a serious injury caused by too much typing, so these days to use a computer I depend on the Windows-only program Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
To help me organise my media files, I wrote a free and open source program, Modest Movie Metadata. It is a very simple tool to generate Jellyfin folder names using data from IMDb. By way of example, for the television show Blackadder, this tool will generate the folder name Blackadder (1982) [imdbid-tt0084988]

I can write a separate forum post about this program, if that is okay with the forum moderators.

Welcome to the Jellyfin Community. That program sounds awesome if it helps with accessibility.
Maybe (in addition) you can write a simple "how-to" use it in our Guides and Walkthough seciton.

RE: The Introductions thread - Emailluka - 2023-11-28
Hello from Austria
I use Jellyfin to have easy access to movies but mostly photos, audio and books to share with my family.
My setup is not very powerful but it runs - up until now - smooth.
Its an asus minipc pn41 with m2 for the system plus an ssd and another one on the usb-port for storage. Jellyfin runs behind Nginx in a Dockercontainer on OMV/Debian.
To be honest, i dont know how much i could "stress" the system, but with 3-4 Users parallel it still runs like a charm. (ofc.. there are no 4k movies or such heavy stuff to be transcoded)
I am not very skilled, but i like to experiment and learn new stuff

Hi I'm Kage,
Been using Jellyfin on Ubuntu. did this to be a full media library and reduce my subscription based services.
RE: The Introductions thread - OSG - 2024-02-10
Hello,
I'm OSG. I"m currently running Jellyfin within docker on a ubuntu machine. I currently am cautiously running all my movies on an 8TB external HDD (getting ready to upgrade to a raid setup). I use Jellyfin solely for movie playback. I am looking to eventually proxy my setup so I can access away from my home network but as of right now, it's been working for me without that. I feel my setup is pretty basic and I still have a lot to learn in regard to troubleshooting jellyfin however when the service is working, it's been great. I'm glad to be apart of the forum as I've always enjoyed chatting with others with similar interest.
RE: The Introductions thread - FactoriedMyAuth - 2024-04-22
Howdy, Shwalamazula here. I am really new to this. The most I ever used for media hosting was just a folder with a bunch of old .avi files, using MetaX to put metadata in the files so they would show up as fancy titles on network shares. I stopped accessing those files years ago, because they were low quality, took too much work to get them to stream to the TV, and streaming services filled the gap.
Up until about a year ago, I had a handful of 4ks and Blu-Rays. I was leaning toward starting a physical media library because of Disney. Paramount kicked me into gear when they dropped Star Trek: Prodigy (Sony didn't help with their recent dropping of purchased titles either). My buddy outgrew his DS220+ and asked me if I wanted it, since he knew I was building my own library. That kicked off a new hyper-fixation hobby and now I am here. I read up on the most popular media-hosting solutions and this seemed like a good fit for me.
I started with the DS220+ with 2x 8TB drives in SHA (so 8TB with full drive redundancy). I had Jellyfin hosted from the 220+ in a container. That worked well, since it had QuickSync. I quickly outgrew that (my Trek files are nearly 4TB in total), so I upgraded the drives to 20TB. That lasted me 3 months.
Now I am running a DS1522+ with 3x 20TB (18TB usable) drives in SHA (35TB usable with 1 disk failure protection). Because the chipset on the 1522+ doesn't have hardware acceleration, the NAS is not hosting anymore. I have my main computer temporarily hosting with the Windows app (just for simplicity). I picked up a Beelink EQ12 (Intel N100) to be the main host. I am still trying to figure out the best way to set that up and will be crawling thru the self-host pages to see what others have done. I am using Jellyfin for local hosting of movies and tv shows. I have my flack collection in there as well (just to see how it handles audio). I tried adding my e-books too, but that was a bit clunky and only an experiment.
So, yeah ... super fun journey so far.
