I am very interested in this as well.

I wonder if creating some kind of shared NixOS setup might work? (I know very little about NixOS but it seems like it should be good for this sort of thing?)

If you start down this road and set up a git repo or something, I would be interested in contributing/testing.

I also kinda like the idea of being able to slap other things into usb ports - dashcams, a usb stick with a good road trip mix, etc.

This is cool.

It’s this old link, eh?

Citation needed.

The most compelling feature I always get asked if Jellyfin has ala Plex is the discovery/NAT punch for linking people up.

That does not strike me as something that necessarily breaks backwards compatibility. It would require some centralized discovery, and I think that is probably where we run into an issue because if I were the Jellyfin devs, I wouldn’t want to have to support that, either.

You sound like me. I hope you can find a way to flip your focus: your time outside work should be way more about you than it sounds like your work life is letting it be.

Maybe you are one of the very few with a meaningful job. If not, consider trying to treat your job like the bullshit it is and use your best cycles outside work on stuff that will really make you happy.

Jellyfin is open source. You could be helping out.

Best of luck with Plex, though. I would say this is even more writing on the wall but it does not sound like that matters to you.
