Definitely agree with @Mahnogard on this one. Haven't been on an active MyBB forum in ages, and wow, this sure is a blast from the past!
Hi, everyone!
I'm Eyal, or ebkalderon on GitHub. I've been following Jellyfin's development progress on GitHub and formerly Reddit for a year or two now, and I thought I'd finally open an account on the forum to participate in discussions and not just lurk. I have a pretty modest setup at the moment: I have Jellyfin installed on an old Dell XPS 13 9360 laptop running Arch Linux, with my media library stored on a 2TB Samsung T7 Touch SSD (with periodic rsync backups saved to another identical external SSD kept off-site). I have Caddy set up as a reverse proxy and TLS certificate management service for Jellyfin, so I can access my media outside the house. I'm looking to scale this crude setup into a well-managed homelab over the next few years.
I primarily use Jellyfin to self-host my legally acquired music library (plenty of lossless CD rips along with MP3/FLAC files individually purchased over the years from Google Music, Bandcamp, 7Digital, and iTunes) along with a few movies and TV shows ripped from my budding Blu-Ray collection. These BD-ROM rips are re-encoded with Handbrake to save space. I also have a collection of downloaded YouTube videos, primarily technical tutorials and educational content, which I try to organize as another library separate from "Movies" and "TV Shows". I would like to get into archiving a podcast or two at some point, whenever Jellyfin gets better support for that type of media (resuming listening from the last known playback position, better metadata parsing, chapter navigation, etc).
The past few releases of Jellyfin have been really exciting to me, especially 10.9.X. I'm also particularly excited for other planned features to land (the media segments API, the upcoming UI/UX redesign spearheaded by Erik, "offline mode" with synced watch progress, music player improvements, and so on). In the meantime, I'll be busy ripping my content library using my combo optical drive (Archgon MD-8107S-U3YC-UHD) and uploading it to Jellyfin over SMB.
Thanks to everyone for tirelessly building, designing, and promoting Jellyfin! You folks are the reason the software is as fun to use as it is. Hope to see you all around on the forum and Matrix from time to time.
