Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/releases

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

    Mine is my Jellyfin.

    With a good few plugins it’s gotten to the point now that my Jellyfin is my

    Movie Shows And music service

    Its been really fun to hunt for blurays of my favorite shows and take the time to rip them and get all the extras labeled.

    Same goes for looking at bandcamp and buying CDs again.

    I still have some media I liberate… I mean they won’t make blurays of everything sadly.

      This! I’ve been loving flipping through DVDs and blurays at Goodwill looking for gems to put in Jellyfin. I love that they will never go away, and I still feel a little giddy when I can watch something from the NAS in my office when I’m at someone else’s house. Today, my daughter and my niece each watched different episodes of Octonauts at the same time on different devices, and both were a thousand miles from my server. ☺️ All from a raspberry pi!
