Those aren’t pirated copies, those are… lawfully encoded… 4k bluray rips… I made myself… to back up the uh, lawful copies I purchased at MSRP! That’s right!

Yeah lol. When I we first got wired internet at home (about 15 years ago), the speeds weren’t good. It averaged around 120 KBPS for browsing the internet. But the guy installing the connection told me that torrents went up to 10 MBPS easily, and he wasn’t lying. Before that, I didn’t understand that torrent worked in a fundamentally different way compared to direct downloads.
It was in India. I won’t be surprised if the situation is still similar. (I mean the attitude towards piracy. The speeds are pretty good nowadays.)
Torrents still work fine here. Speeds are good too.

My Jellyfin server keeps getting pinged by EMOTET malware lately. Everyone here should be aware if you expose the Jellyfin port to the internet it will get data exfiltration attempts. Use strong passwords.
Oh my. You’re doing it wrong. Exposing the unencrypted connection without the proper security measures is putting yourself at risk. Regardless of how strong you set the password, the connection can still be abused in all manner of ways. If you read the jellyfin documentation, you’d see the developers clearly state you should never do this. You need to put Jellyfin behind server software. Specifically a reverse proxy. I use NGINX. You can setup your connection to be secure this way. You can now also use Cloudflare if you have cache turned off. And if you really wanna go the extra mile, route it behind a VPN. Though this makes it harder for those you share it with or some devices that don’t support VPN.
Please revise your connection. If you need help, feel free to reach out.
I have nginx setup and acessing through a Cloudflare tunnel but still getting EMOTET issues detected by my IDS.
May I ask what I should look for in the log files to detect this (and so I can configure fail2ban correctly)?
First read this
Then use the following:
alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 443 (msg:“[CIS] Emotet C2 Traffic Using Form Data to Send Passwords”; content:“POST”; http_method; content:“Content-Type|3a 20|multipart/form-data|3b 20|boundary=”; http_header; fast_pattern; content:“Content-Disposition|3a 20|form-data|3b 20|name=|22|”; http_client_body; content:!“------WebKitFormBoundary”; http_client_body; content:!“Cookie|3a|”; pcre:“/:?(chrome|firefox|safari|opera|ie|edge) passwords/i”; reference:url,cofense.com/flash-bulletin-emotet-epoch-1-changes-c2-communication/; sid:1; rev:2;)
And the following:
alert tcp any any -> any $HTTP_PORTS (msg:“EMOTET:HTTP URI GET contains ‘/wp-content/###/’”; sid:00000000; rev:1; flow:established,to_server; content:“/wp-content/”; http_uri; content:“/”; http_uri; distance:0; within:4; content:“GET”; nocase; http_method; urilen:<17; classtype:http-uri; content:“Connection|3a 20|Keep-Alive|0d 0a|”; http_header; metadata:service http;)
And also this one:
alert tcp any any -> any $HTTP_PORTS (msg:“EMOTET:HTTP URI GET contains ‘/wp-admin/###/’”; sid:00000000; rev:1; flow:established,to_server; content:“/wp-admin/”; http_uri; content:“/”; http_uri; distance:0; within:4; content:“GET”; nocase; http_method; urilen:<15; content:“Connection|3a 20|Keep-Alive|0d 0a|”; http_header; classtype:http-uri; metadata:service http;)
You always will. Welcome to the Internet. The difference is whether or not you’ve taken steps to secure your stuff. You need to understand what this malware is looking for. It’s explicitly looking for unsecured services. Such as WordPress, SQL, etc. There are inexperienced users out there that inadvertently expose themselves. I see this type of probing at work and at home. Don’t overly stress it. My home server has been running for a decade without issues. Just keep it updated and read before you make any changes if you don’t fully understand the implications.
My home based server is behind a pfsense firewall. Runs Arch. Everything is in a non-root docker container. SELinux is enforced. All domains are routed through Cloudflare. Some use Cloudflare Zero Trust.
Mines behind an NGINX reverse proxy as well. EMOTET is a very advanced malware and can get around those now. My IDS detected data exfiltration to an unknown Brazilian IP, and I have a VPN with an IP tunnel on top of my reverse proxy, as well as everything on port 443. It still found a way.
If it found a way, then your server configuration is inadequate. Are you using old ciphers or protocols? Missing headers? Wrong headers? Something doesn’t add up here.
Don’t expose anything directly to the Internet except a VPN with strong auth.
Get a reverse proxy and strong passwords if you share with your loved ones.
There’s wireshark for Android. Put your public key on the phone and you’re almost done.
You’re thinking of WireGuard. WireGuard is a packet capture software.
You’re thinking of Wireshark. WireGuard is a VPN.
I’ve got one, I prefer the VPN method.
Why not use a reverse proxy to keep everything on port 443 behind your own domain or duckdns? /gen
Can you link a good resource for me to set this up myself ? To many similar but different guides and my ADD makes it impossible to reach the goal.
Look up Caddy V2 probably the most dead simple reverse proxy I’ve seen and they have solid documentation
I do this already and also am inside an encrypted Cloudflare tunnel… Still getting EMOTET warnings from my IDS.
This is the biggest downfall of Emby/Jellyfin IMO. It’s a tradeoff from being reliant on Plex’s authentication servers, but requires a lot of technical knowledge to setup correctly (rather than just port forwarding and relying on a strong password).
Plex was how last pass got hacked. https://www.howtogeek.com/147554/lastpass-data-breach-shows-why-plex-updates-are-important/
You still need to do stuff even if it is plex.
Get a reverse proxy. Ping me if you need details. All my stuff is hidden behind port 443.
Use it behind a VPN
How can you see that?

That link doesn’t work :/
I will simply copy/paste here then:
I have a refurbished server rack system that is running Zeek and also Suricata. I have a managed switch that will duplicate all network traffic to the system that is running those applications and a JBOD setup to store the countless logs. I have scoured through nearly all the CISA documents and alert reports to copy the various Snort rules they mention in each report and also purchased a specific modem to connect with my ISP that provides a service to monitor my traffic that has Minim.
I am a cybersecurity expert and still don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, so this is literally scratching the surface, as well as only detecting threats not really stopping them which requires more knowledge.
Tailscale works nicely as well

Made the switch from Plex to jellyfin last week. Runs so much smoother, far fewer issues, my NAS isn’t lighting itself on fire, and I don’t have unwanted features being shoved down my throat every time I open the client app. A few small UI things I don’t like, but Plex had just fucked up the exact same UI element on me anyway.
I think it’s finally time I get around to setting up a second sonarr instance to customize for anime.
I’ve been running Plex on a Pi 3 and now Pi 4 along with multiple other containers with no real problems. I don’t transcode obviously but have no issues with performance.
I also installed Jellyfin last week to run side by side but ended up uninstalling as even when idle the memory usage went through the roof.
I had jellyfin and 20+ more containers on rpi4 4GB and didnt have that problem.
There isn’t a problem. It just consumed more memory than I’d have liked.
I’ve just powered on the container and the system went from 1.75G to 2.47G consumed. This is when it’s idle.
I’ve just stopped the Plex container and memory usage is now 2.40G. Plex is definitely more lightweight in comparison.
Had you installed the native programs or everything on docker?
Almost everything in docker. Pihole and wireguard bare metal
I’ve never considered a pi for this purpose. Assuming you have either one large or multiple smaller hard drives, physically how do you connect all that to your pi? Thanks!
Actually, the OS runs from SD and for mass storage I have a single USB drive. The container’s data is stored on the USB drive along with the docker-compose.yml file. So if I lose the SD it’s just a case of reloading the OS, installing docker and docker-compose. Configuring the disk to mount on boot and then running docker-compose to get back up and running.
Docker data is sent via rsync to a Pi Zero should the USB drive fail. Plex/Jellyfin content I don’t care too much about as they can be “obtained” again 😉
From the first boot it’s only a few lines to get docker installed ready for running containers. Containers are awesome!
Well this is really strange. I kept trying to use jellyfin but it felt like a hammer in search of fingers, what with being unable to disable transcoding and the apps being unable to play basically anything. So my server was on fire. And two days ago I decided to try plex, and everything just works tm, I disabled transcoding, it’s like magic. Just wish it wasn’t trying to make me get a subscription so bad, but for me the experience was completely opposite
I used both of them for a long time. Plex(amp) for music because it just works for streaming my collection everywhere I go and has a good UI. My own personal Spotify… And Jellyfin for everything else.
Now I built a new homelab server with a beefier AMD and proxmox, and decided to just switch to Plex for all my content. It has a better UI to my taste at least, but it also has these weird glitches sometimes where the video playback stutters if watching 4k material (where Jellyfin just worked).
I don’t know really. For music Plex is definitely worth the subscription price, but these weird playback issues put me to consider alternatives for video content.
I just added jellyfin to my nas and deleted it again. It doesn’t work without transcoding and the replies to people asking for the option are idiotic to say the least. Sometimes opensource software can be proper crap, what can you do. And plex is obviously faster, a lot faster. Maybe because it’s not wasting resources on transcoding haha
I haven’t seen a specific way to explicitly disable transcoding, like I did on Plex. If I try to play a video in the browser, it obviously needs to transcode my hevc videos, and the CPU in my NAS gets demolished(though it does technically allow the video to play). But as long as I use a player that is capable of direct-play (so the desktop app, or the Android app), it will direct-play automatically, without transcoding. Hasn’t been a problem so far. I plan to upgrade my NAS at some point, and the new build will be more than capable of transcoding.
I guess it has a lot to do with hardware. The issue I have with this is mainly the lack of this option, I want to control what happens. But the weird thing is my devices are capable of playing the raw files over smb shares, using a regular player, no problems whatsoever. Then the jellyfin client decides that it can’t play these things and stuff goes downhill. It’s a shame, I’d always rather go with open things but there are limits.
Did you give up any Plex features you miss? I’ve been running a Plex server for years without serious issues, but I’m tired of seeing my CPUs getting hammered so bad when it doesn’t seem justifiable.
Nothing much that I can think of. Everything works just about as well as before. If I need/want to change a cover or other image manually, the jellyfin system is kind of trash, where the Plex system works really well. But that’s a fairly minor complaint, to be fair. My only other issue is the way the unwatched episode badge works. Plex had just changed theirs on me and made it worse. And jellyfin is even more useless than that. But those are the only things I can even think to complain about.

Does anyone have hypothetical knowledge on how to set up jellyfin at one location for several family members spread out across the country?
Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 ways.
- Using a VPS and DDNS (I personally do this):
- Pros: Super easy for others to access, you just give them the address.
- Cons: Not free. (Oracle free tier might work, but it’s unreliable.) But there are cheap VPSs as low as $12/yr that work pretty well. Also, it’s a bit harder to setup since you’ll need to create a VPN tunnel between your local machine and the VPS.
- Using tailscale or zeroties:
- Pros: Free, and easier to setup than a VPS.
- Cons: People need to install extra apps to access your server.
- By port forwarding:
- Pros: Super easy to setup, just need to forward the ports through your router.
- Cons: You’re opening a port to the internet, which is less than ideal. Also, it won’t work if you’re behind a NAT.
For 1. you don’t necessarily need a VPN. A reverse tunnel using SSH should be sufficient and is easier.
Where are you seeing a VPS for $1/month that works well as a Jellyfin server for multiple people?
I have a VPS from RackNerd for something like $11.5/yr. You can check some offers from them here.
To be clear, it probably won’t work well as a Jellyfin server since the storage and CPU capabilities aren’t great. But it’s pretty good as a relay, which is what I described above. I have a local machine, and I use the VPS to relay the connection to the open internet.
If you treat it as relay, then does it consume bandwidth on the VPS?
Yes, it does. Mine gives me 2TB/month of bandwidth, which is plenty for my use.
Still very cool, though. Thanks!
- Using a VPS and DDNS (I personally do this):
It’s easy af, just look up Jellyfin server guide. Basically it’s just forwarding a few ports and setting up usernames/passwords for them and you’re good to go
It gets more complicated if someone is double-natted (CG/NAT) unfortunately.
A slightly more complicated setup would be to host Jellyfin on one’s server at home and run a VPN client to a VPS which would have the necessary ports forwarded and routing configured. This way the people who know the right credentials can log in (assuming SSO) and the hoster doesn’t have to open their own port
add tailscale and you’re golden
one could dyndns their servers’ ipv6 instead, where cgnat to my knowledge does not exist
This is the riskiest way of doing it because you’re exposing ports to the open internet.
My setup is this:
- cloudflare dns mapping my domain to an oracle cloud vm. 2)oracle always free tier, 1 core amd vm, with apache reverse proxy. I also have tailscale running on this machine. You have to setup the networking rules in the oci networking area, and setup ufw/iptables as well. So then jellyfin.whatever gets mapped to tailscale_ip:jellyfin_port at home.
- My server at home with tailscale as well so it has its own ip, but you can expose routes and use the same internal ip. Jellyfin server runs here. There is a dedicated user with appropriate access to my nas aswell.
- This server has a vm on it that runs prowlarr/sonarr/radarr/lidarr and qbittorrent. I have an airvpn account running here with a killswitch, and also qbittorent is only allowed to use the eddie interface. I port forwarded a dedicated port on the airvpn site and told qbittorrent to use that.
So me, my partner, parnets, and friends when outside my network can go to jellyfin.domain.whatever and login to my jellyfin. No ports open to the internet except 80/443 on the reverse proxy, and no ips to remember. That will give you some things to google to get started to replicate a similar setup for your needs.
I personally use GL.iNet routers. Basically you create VPN tunnels between a WG(WireGuard) server hosted on one router, and WG clients hosted on another GL.iNet router or a device that supports the WG app (PC and mobile afaik). The router using the WG server is facing WAN so no need to port forward and you can use it to connect to your jellyfin server as well as RDP or SSH into your server. The WG clients are simple, just need to be connected to the Internet. The tunnels bandwidth is based on your ISP’s upload speed(fiber is great, with coax good luck streaming 4k) where the WG server is located. You can use WG without the router too, but I’ll just speak to my experience.
Edit: YT link to intro for the routers - https://youtu.be/LXbDg1v65Qs?feature=shared
If you have good home upload and want to host at home, a simple reverse proxy on the vps provider of your choice does the trick. I host for a large group of friends and family and it all proxies through haproxy running on digitalocean.
It needs a good Xbox app for me to switch. I could deal with dlna, but my wife and daughter need the easier interface plex has, and unless I can at least partially match that I can’t switch.
Same here, my brother uses it on his xbox. Once there is a good client there, I’ll make the jump.
It works fine on Google tv via the new gen Chromecast if that’s an option for you?
It works fine on Google tv
It working ‘fine’ is the reason I’ve switched back to Plex for the time being. Too many QoL issues for me personally
As someone who just finished dusting my hat off after 12 years and setting up jellyfin how do I get the content I need for it?
Try Usenet, you don’t need to worry about a VPN that way
You can only access it by paying, right?
Also, do you think there’s content with subtitles or in languages other than English? (Italian, for example)
Yes generally, but it can be very cheap. Some places sell block accounts which let you pay a one time fee for a set amount of data. Black Friday deals are coming up, and you an usually get amazing deals (1TB for under $5, able to be purchased multiple times, or subscriptions which work out to a couple dollars/euros a month).
The other thing you’d need is an indexer. Some are free, but for the best experience you’d want to pay for acess to a private indexer. Usually a few bucks as well, almost all of the big ones run sales this time of the year.
For subtitles: there are several solutions. Jellyfin (and Plex) support finding subtitles that you either download with a tool like Bazarr, or via Jellyfin/Plex’s own interface. Bazarr auto downloads them based on your parameters you give it though.
There’s subs in a lot of languages. But it really depends on the community
https://www.opensubtitles.com/en
The price for an indexer + unlimited regular usenet from most providers is about 100 bucks a year. So cheaper than a single normal streaming service.
Take a look at the pinned megathread of this community
I usually try qbittorrent + plug-ins (1337x and others) with that you can search for stuff directly from the torrent client which is great. If it’s not there I’ll usually look up on btdig or similar torrent indexers, after that, I’ll send the files to my server via FTP.
Jellyfin is almost perfect for me, I just need to find out why it decides to randomly transcode when it needs to do nothing when serving client.
Yeah, why is it doing that?
Especially when I’m using the Jellyfin Android TV client. The quality goes from ok to complete shit.
Does it not like mkv files?
If only the container was an issue, you would have a direct stream which doesn’t impact quality, it just repacks it in a container that is compatible with the client.
You can see the transcode reason on the dashboard by clicking on the i symbol. Start playback on android TV, open jellyfin on your phone and you should see the transcode reason.
Subtitle codec is not supported.
I think they’re in ASS format, according to the subtitle selection menu, embedded in the mkv file.
Is there no way to convert that to something that is supported?
It doesn’t help that this is Across the Spider Verse, so it’s not exactly what most video codecs are expecting. The playback quality with no subs is light-years ahead of the transcoded version.
I think YOU are in ASS format!
This comment isn’t helpful to anyone in anyway, but it IS funny
That’s what I was going for!
Disable video transcoding for the account your client connects with. Then check the log to see why it needs to transcod it the video fails. Could be the bitrate limit. I’m not having issues and using the same client.
Checked on the dashboard as per the other comment.
It’s subtitles. I’m probably going to try Kodi as a client, see how that goes. Shame, because I quite like the Jellyfin client UI, it just doesn’t work with some files.
My method to get around this is setting up a specific user account for my TV. In the user options you can disable transcoding
There are tons of reasons why Jellyfin may decide to transcode. In my experience browsers and players usually have the right video decoder support, but high efficiency audio codecs seem to trigger transcoding. It’s also possibly the specific video profile (colour depth, HDR, whatever) isn’t supported by the client even if the more common profiles are.
In some circumstances, enabling embedded subtitles can force a transcode. Using Bazarr to download separate subtitles helps prevent weird transcodes for some of the videos I’ve gathered on my server.
Yes! That’s my main issue with Jellyfin. So annoying.
Jellyfin is awesome but…
There are still problems. The mobile app recently got loads better but still has some pretty major issues with subtitles, showing that subtitles either are barely tested, or the dev simply doesn’t have the resources required or finished the app in a better way. Right now you cannot watch two episodes of a show in a row over Chromecast with subtitles without the last subtitles of the previous show frozen in screen and the new subtitles being display above those. Gotta disconnect Chromecast, shutdown the app, restart everything. This is super annoying but still light-years better than the previous mobiel app that would basically require a reinstall after each episode.
There are many other issues too, scrubbing is much better again, but still problematic and tents to freeze, requiring restarting everything.
Jellyfin is awesome but I can’t really let my wife use it, as she doesn’t have the computer patience that I have.
I’m sticking with Plex for now too. Although there are some grating, persistent issues in basic use, it usually just works.
Swear the UI gets laggier on the TV by the day, Jellyfin was jarring to me how snappy it was in comparison.I don’t have this issue with Jellyfin on my Chromecast at all.
Sometimes it’ll not “remember” which sub track I had selected when going to the next episode and I have to re-select it, or occasionally it won’t properly burn in the subtitles and I have to back out and restart the episode, but I never get them “stuck” like that.
I’d recommend trying to change the default player, the player is actually where I find most of the issues arise with subtitles. Jellyfin ships with LibVLC and ExoPlayer on Chromecast, but only uses one by default. I have it set to ask me which player to use for each show, since the subtitles for some of my shows work in one player but not the other.
Also are you using the Chromecast app for Jellyfin or are you casting to the Chromecast through the Jellyfin mobile app? (Not sure if the latter is possible, but I can see that causing weird behavior)
Oh that is an extremely different experience that what I’m having! Chromecast works fine for me and i never have to restart anything and no problems with scrubbing either, just a bit slow on shows with a lot of episodes (300+). I have given my friends access to my server and most of them are using it just fine (sure with some issue now and then, as you said its not perfect). And in iOS with the alternative Swiftfin client the experience feels phenomenal!!
Jellyfin works great in an all Jellyfin environment. It’s poor integration with Chromecast ultimately kept me off the platform. But that’s on me for letting Google make things too easy.
I will give Jellyfin further credit, that Finamp is really well designed for music use, and it kept me running the server in parallel with other media servers for quite a while.

I had enough parts laying around to build a HTPC but the LG is too damn good, especially after you pihole it.
The LG app is jellyfin TV, right? It gives me issues with some formats, the video player is kinda crap honestly, if you try to forward or go back in the video it freezes for some seconds, zero buffering, and the UI is kinda ugly. I use another video payer as a proxy and that solves the ui and some formats, but it still complain on some others and the buffering issue is still there for some reason.
This is quite weird since the android app, which supposedly is just the Web app plugged in through react native, works flawlessly. Instead of adding tv controls to that app they decided to create a new one and it’s really not the best idea.
I hate to say it but this doesn’t happen with emby, the UI is similar but I’m able to see all the formats I own and there’s no issue with forwarding.
It has a pretty good google tv app. That’s how my wife mainly uses it. I use the iOS app Swiftfin.
What? Why do you say that?
I use it on my Chromecast constantly. I have had subtitle sync problems with some media, but that is literally on every single jellyfin app platform I have tried.
You can use jellyfin to manage your Kodi media which is how I use it. I get the customizability of Kodi with the seamless syncing between devices of jellyfin.
I didn’t know Finamp existed. How does it compare to Plexamp?

I moved from Plex to Jellyfin because of this video.
I am currently running Jellyfin with a single 10TB disk. I would love to move to a dedicated NAS, but that is so expensive.
[$250 isn’t that expensive for what you get IMO](http://www.Synology.com/ 2-Bay NAS DS223 (Diskless) https://a.co/d/6IV6C8d)
I want to go for a 4 bay one, so that I’ll survive a disk failure. And then you’re looking at about 2000 Euro for the NAS and four drives.
Just buy a used PC and the drives. You don’t have to buy them all at once since you can add drives to your RAID.
I’ve got old PCs, but would rather have something that uses very little power rather than some ancient Athlon X2 running full tilt.
Those mini PCs are neat, but lack space for drives.
As far as I can tell a Dell small form factor and Synology idle around 15-25w and 15w respectively. Both seem to pop up to 30-45w under average load depending on what you’re doing with them. But it depends on the kind of processor you pick and additional drives will also pull more wattage.
The SFF units are limited on space. The one I have is limited to one HDD although you could put a few SATA SSDs in there and 1 nvme. The SSDs would be more expensive but lower energy use. I’ve been toying with attaching a external HDD mount to the case to see if I could add in some extra drives.
I’m not familiar with the EU/UK market, but in the US I got my used Dell for $87 from eBay. It came with 8Gb RAM and a 250Gb SSD. And it had cosmetic damage so the seller sent me a second for free :P
I think depending on how much storage you need it could be a viable alternative.
Currently I’m still using my Odroid HC4 which is probably super power efficient but limited to 2 drives and it isn’t very powerful.
The Synology units are much more user friendly out of the box though. Also I guess it depends on if you just want a NAS or if you eventually want to get into self hosting.
I have the ds 220 in raid 1 configuration. Going well so far.
You didn’t properly format your markdown
I noticed, but it kinda works. One takes you to learn more about the brand and the other to the store site.
I agree. There are a bunch of DIY server options with linux. You should go that route to save money.
I don’t see anything that would be cheaper than a DS923 from Synology, which costs 570 plus the drives. The cheapest I see still costs me 1200 Euro for everything.
It’s not cheap but building a nas from scratch is loads cheaper. Looking up NAS killer 6 on serverbuilds.net have some great guides and support
That looks nice, but I am not getting anything close to the listed prices. I don’t see the board for under 400 Euro, the PSU is off by a factor of 10 and so on. Overall I don’t think I can build the PC for less than the 573 Euro a Synology DS923+ would cost me. The only upside of the custom build would be that I can attach more than 4 disks.
Just use Stremio
The only issue with stremio is that there isn’t enough non English language content available on public trackers

Wtf is all this Disney plus shit? I kept seeing it searching for a VPN.
Is Disney actually making shows people watch?
To each their own I guess… At least everyones ripping it instead of paying for it.
Disney plus has a decent bit of solid content. By saying this you don’t sound edgy and cool like you think you do, you sound dated. It’s okay to accept that Disney makes decent content, they have enough money to. It’s also okay to not like their content. But pretending you’re an ancient ass ostrich with your head in the sand is just cringe.
Why do people think people/me are trying to sound edgy because they don’t understand Disney stuff, lol. Is that what this world has come to…? That’s what people stand for these days…? Disney?
Man the world’s fucked up these days if you think Disney is a part of everyone’s life… That’s really fucked up on a human scale.
Why not stand up for something real… Like people getting hurt…? So sick of seeing privileged people not realizing there’s literally an entire world outside of their pop lifestyle.
Nobody here gives a fuck about your whataboutism, go troll somewhere else.
If you don’t understand the cultural impact that Disney has then you probably have been living under a rock.
Disney hasn’t done anything culturally significant in a long ass time. It’s been at least a decade of acquiring mature IPs and grinding them into dust for profit, or remaking shittier live versions of their classic animations. They sucked the magic out of Pixar films in recent years as well.
Have you watched recent Pixar movies? They seem perfectly fine to me.
Here in Canada Disney+ also has a bunch of Hulu content, NatGeo and other stuff all rolled into one. It is a pretty amazing deal for only ca$12/month
How the fuck have you managed to both misunderstand and know so little about Disney+ with the multiple shows that have been major hits? I’m gonna take a guess and say you’re trolling. The multuple star wars and marvel shows that have been talked about absolutely everywhere, it would be incredibly hard to miss any of that.

I knew this dumb fuck would say he didn’t have time to watch Disney plus, in a piracy community where people download things to spend their time.
Also he hunts criminals, that’s why he’s here partaking in this piracy community.
What a dumbass.
He hunts criminals in the same way Qanon hunts pedos.
You sound like you’re fun at parties…
Dude’s obviously mentally unstable and probably a pedophile. It takes a special type of person to shoehorn “child sex trafficking” and multiple references of “jerking off” into a discussion about media server software.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
The birth of a new copy pasta 👀
For instance I hunt criminals… Way more useful to society than watching Disney plus
You’re so hardcore. I wish I was like you. /s
No, you don’t hunt criminals. You pretend to do it, on some random social media network called lemmy.
I myself also don’t like Marvel, most of Star Wars and the other stuff Disney is pumping out. But what I like even less are people on the internet pretending that they are worth more than others because they watched some crime footage on YouTube.
Why don’t you get back to topic, which incidentally is Jellyfin and not the content on Disney+? Do you really have nothing of worth to add?
Don’t feed the troll!
I guess it’s for kids and maybe die-hard marvel fans but yeah, most content is either shit, ancient or both lol
My roommate and I enjoyed Andor, Loki, and some of the other Star Wars stuff
But yeah their selection is pretty limited, which is why we cancelled our subscription awhile ago
Andor was excellent. I was burnt out on Star Wars but buddy insisted. It’s well worth the watch.
Everything else meh
Straight up IMO Andor is the best Star Wars show to come out on Disney plus
The other Star Wars shows that came out on steaming are pretty meh
Mando was pretty damn good season 1 but quickly turned meh
Star Wars Visions is worth the watch IMO as some cool Star Wars content but it’s pretty different than the other Star Wars shows which makes it better
Andor might be one of the best pieces of star wars media (movies/shows specifically) to ever come out tbh
I loved the second season of Loki 🤩
I would be interested in ripping Loki tbh. I didn’t know it was by Disney, but I suppose it doesn’t matter to a pirate such as I
Yeah true, Andor and Loki were great to be fair but that were really the only things worth watching for me in YEARS
not gonna lie, i enjoyed Loki… not much tbh… but it was nice to watch while nothing else to do. And i could only enjoy it because i pirated it. Watching it, knowing i paid for it… would’ve made me angry
The first season was fine, this last season was a waste of time. Each episode amounts to nothing and there is sooo much repetition that I was thrown back to Heroes season 2 during the NBC writers strikes.
I don’t know if S2 of Loki was the way it is because it was trying to change Kang or because it was trying to be impressive. As of now, it seems like the latter.
All that said, S2 of Loki was “technically fine”, the acting was decent-good, the visuals weren’t terrible for 90-95% of it, good soundtrack. It was just the premise and how it was written that fell flat for my friend and I, and we’re both just kind of bewildered by the positive reception to it. Like, is the bar that low for people? Were we expecting too much? Is Disney just astroturfing? maybe a little of all 3. But holy heck, compared to other shows like Gen V and Invincible coming out each week we are so hype and sad about those episodes ending and we watch Loki and go… “that was it? ok…”
I did like the ending, though. Pretty much the only part of the show that wasn’t sci-fi technobabble and actually amounted to something and a smidge of character development. Even still, it was only okay I guess.
Not at all, I’m far from a die-hard marvel fan and I’ve really enjoyed several of the recent marvel shows. And the multiple star wars shows are the best star wars things since the original trilogy. Lots of stuff other than that too.
I have a hard time believing anyone has sene ir heard of any of that so little like you guys have, I’ve never had Disney+ (I only download) and use adblockers etc and don’t have any friends that are marvel/Disney fanatics and I still don’t have to do anything to be aware of most of the stuff they release.
Add my hat to the “wtf does Disney make anymore?” club. I’ve never watched any SW, anything Marvel, I haven’t seen a Disney movie since VHS was the standard. I have friends who are very much into Marvel movies and even then I couldn’t tell you anything about any of the films, I have absolutely zero interest (there’s a guy with a circle shield with a star on it, I think?).
Hell, the only content I consume is stuff I find out about organically on my own; I’ve been enjoying my anti-advertising bubble for near two decades. I didn’t even know about a couple of these ‘big name’ studios running streaming services until a show I was actually interested in slid across my radar, and I’m like ‘the fuck, Paramount is doing this now?’. Disney I found out because people were bitching about yet another streaming service, otherwise I’d still be in the dark.
I grew up in peak Disney content time (90-00, everyone knew about the Disney Channel), and other than a handful of VHS films and Mickey Mouse, they might as well not exist to me. I’m sure there is a ton of stuff like that, where I just have no interest and with the lack of advertising I completely skate on by, none the wiser.
Disney has acquired Marvel over a decade ago (14 years). They are closer to producing 2 decades of Marvel content (6 years from now) than they are from the date of the initial merger in 2009.
It’s very similar for Star Wars which was 2012.
They also still make original kids shows.
Isn’t it wild that people just assume everyone panders to pop culture?
It’s pretty dark when you think about it. Like it brings a wave of hopelessness over me.
Thanks for your balanced minded comment. God knows I can speak like that…
I haven’t listened to American pop music for over 15 years… Pretty much the same for any media. That stuff never interested me at all. Most of the people I’m friends with don’t mess around with it either.
…but apparently some people think it’s an integral part of life, lol. That’s just mind blowing.
I guess I’m “edgy” lmao.
The only way I come across new releases/films are from YouTube recommendations of clips/trailers. And even that stops when the Piped instance where I’m on works properly for me.
It’s kind of nice but I’ll have to admit that YouTube knows me so well that it’s recommendations are something I actually enjoy. I came to know about the Loki series from trailers on YouTube
I’m aware of it, I just think the content is terrible. Excluding Loki season 1 and Andor, I guess. But even with those two I’m just so fed up with their franchises, I don’t think I’m gonna watch more of it.
