How to get my BluRays and DVDs to work in jellyfin? - Colton Patterson - 2024-12-29
So i have ripped a couple DVDs and BluRays and i want to put them on my jellyfin server. Currently, the DVDs are ISO files and the BluRays are folders. I have no idea what i need to do with these, and to my understanding Jellyfin cannot play ISO files. I cannot find a guide that tells me how to make my stuff work with Jellyfin. Can someone please help me?

Heres how i currently have my files structured: https://ibb.co/PgQKmWJ
Ignore Cars 2, that one is not done ripping yet, so I haven't renamed it yet.
Wimzies House (1997) is a show, do I have to do anything different with that other then put it in the show folder?

Jellyfin does not support ISOs or only kind of supports BDMV folders and only because ffmpeg kind of supports it.
When you rip your discs you should be converting them to MKVs. Most tools should have that option to rip each title as an MKV.

I am using MakeMKV, but when i do DVD files it outputs an ISO file. I cannot find an option anywhere to make it output a MKV. When i do BluRays, it makes a folder, which seems to work fine for Jellyfin, but i cannot figure out how to make makemkv output mkv files instead of iso files.

thats probably my issue then, I was hitting the back up disk button in the top left

If you are clicking "backup", that will make an ISO. As Bladefin stated, the big BIG disc icon in the middle of the interface will "open" the disc for you to extract titles on the disc as MKVs.
