>has a big movie and TV collection stored on his PC or media server. 1TB or more!>has installed Plex or Jellyfin>doesn't actually watch anything he has stored.How many people on /tv/ suffer from this mental illness
for the most part i keep stuff on in the background as white noise. i actually watch stuff every so often
>>218661217The problem is currently not having enough time and privacy to watch the weird stuff. I can cross detective Conan and other day time shows off any time.
>>218661217>run big server 24/7>only people who watch regularly are my family>I watch maybe a movie every two weeks>haven't seen a new tv show in 6 monthsI'd shut it down if they didn't come to rely on it desu
>>218661277>for the most part i keep stuff on in the background as white noise.that sounds gay
>>218661217>How many people on /tv/ suffer from this mental illnessNot me. In fact forced myself to set this shit up exactly to stop procrastinating.I had 400+ unwatched movies and a ton of tv shows before organizing my folders and installing jellyfin. I'm now down to less than 80.Also>1TB or more!lmao
>>218661400takes one to know one haha
>>218661431>I had 400+ unwatched movies and a ton of tv shows before organizing my folders and installing jellyfin. I'm now down to less than 80.how long did that take you to watch?
>>218661352are you my nephew
>>218661540around 2 years and a halfbut I added a lot of stuff since then
>>218661217people who complain that there's nothing to watch
>>218661680>people who complain that there's nothing to watchthose are the most mentally ill people on /tv/
>>218661217>big movie and TV collection>1TBkek
>>218661217i'm often in a kino procuring mood but not a kino watching mood. i like to think that i'm like a dragon hoarding treasure in my lair.
>>218661217>1tb or more!that's cute
>>218661217I have like 10 people watching mine and I have many more TBs of shit than that. It’s automated with all the Arr’s and shit too
>>218661819I think it's smart. Media just fucking disappears sometimes, and streaming services are mercurial and unreliable. Fuck, given the state of the world, at some point even having an internet connection might be a stretch. Keeping a hoard of local media seems like a prudent measure these days to ensure that as long as you have electricity, you can have entertainment. I just wish large hard drives would come down in price. I need to get a couple bigger drives (plus backups), but 16tb drives are still over $300.
>>218661217Nah, I purge anything I feel like I won't watch again and the stuff I get for family they generally don't watch more than once so I just delete it after.
>>218661217I cant believe people voluntarily install this crap
>>218661431If you didn't waste all that time installing and configuring this stupid software you'd have more time to watch content.
My question is why hoard movies you'll never watch again? I see anons with giant drives of movies that include things there is no way they're going to revisit.
>>218662241how much time does jellyfin take to setup? plex takes like 5min
>>218662810>My question is why hoard movies you'll never watch again?the people who do this are losers with a lot of free time because they have no job, no friends, etc.
>>218662841>how much time does jellyfin take to setup?Like 3-5 min? You just install it and point it to your content folders.
>>218662861then i don't get that claim that it was a huge waste of time it wasn't very much time at all..
>>218662841I tried Jellyfin. its a bloated piece of shit
>>218661217I just want a program that lets me simulate day time television blocks with my own shows and movies but not autistically build the entire schedule myself
>>218662909>then i don't get that claim that it was a huge waste of time it wasn't very much time at all..it's just computer illiterate idiots who think you need an engineering degree to install jellyfin when a little boy can do it.
>>218663059that would actually be cool. you could probably do something like that with a script that loads a playlist or something.
>>218662810>>218662844Because if my internet goes down for whatever reason I’ll have plenty to watch and the quality + no buffering on those is a major plus over those free streaming Indian websites. Seriously, this is such a stupid question and statement and if I brought up people buying and maintaining a physical collection , as one did before streaming you’ll then predictably say>b-buh that doesn’t count they’re not neets and losers
>>218663089I would love to even try making it myself but I know nothing about coding
>>218663101>Because if my internet goes down for whatever reason I’ll have plenty to watchthen by definition you are not a person who:>hoard movies you'll never watch again?so i don't know why you answered this
>>218663243Ok so did you go over with every single anon who has a large drive of movies and proceed to review their view counts on every file? You can’t possibly know if people “hoard movies they’ll never watch again”
>>218663293>You can’t possibly know if people “hoard movies they’ll never watch again”Anon, the OP is singling out movie hoarders aka people who download movies and never see them because they are posting about teenage stars on /tv/ or jacking off to cartoon porn. they collect movies just to have them, but not enjoy them.
>>218661431I have 30TB but it's music instead of movies.
>>218663355damn nice digits. >>218663293that's why the question specifically asks people who self-identify as hoarding that way. i think for a lot of these people the answer is they download them in case they want to watch them at some point in the future, it's basically a watchlist, but that can grow quite quickly
>>218663405>i think for a lot of these people the answer is they download them in case they want to watch them at some point in the futurefor the healthy ones, yesbut there's also mentally ill people who will never see the movies they hoard
I snatch stuff when I want to watch it, then seed it until I need space for something else. I delete stuff with lots of seeds that I don't plan to ever rewatch when I need to free up space
>>218661217I watch stuff all the time, nearly every night. Pretty sure I've already watched nearly 100 movies just in 2026.
>>218662810I've been revisiting a lot of flicks I haven't seen in nearly 20 years or more. I just recently watched Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford for the first time since 2007. It was surreal how little of the movie I actually remembered.
>>218661217I use plex to stream 8TB of all the porn i have saved. its mostly black women getting fucked by BWC (tessa thomas and skyler nicole just did a scene for ANALONLY)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ZWuoIh8Nsalso im going to watch COPLAND tonight
>>218661217Not only I actively download and watch stuff, I've redpilled several people by showing how low the "4K" quality on Netflix is compared to a high bitrate 1080p rip.
>>218662810so my son can watch it
id call it a mental illness if downloading shit wasn't basically a single click
>torrent>plug the cable>watch>deleteSimple as
>>218666470>Pretty sure I've already watched nearly 100 movies just in 2026why don't you log them!?
>>218666470100? Really? I watch far too much tv and movies and ive "only" seen 40 this year so far
>average shitflix consooomer cattle>average shitflix consooomer cattle BUT with an extra stepWew, so impressive
>>218667521
>>218666991don't you need to seed torrents or they'll ban you?
>>218667689Skill issue
How come nobody ever thought to create a Plex server(or something similar) that just has ALL shows and movies in highest possible quality and just charge people money for access? It would be like Netflix, only it would have everything and not just garbage, and in good quality. I would actually pay for that convenience
>>218663059I've had the same idea bro. I even made a website once that broadcast randomly selected public doman horror films to simulate a channel. I don't think it would be hard at all, but I don't know anything about open source projects. Maybe someday I'll try to start something like that. Does jellyfin have custom plugins or anything like that?
>>218661217the thing that stops me from building a media server using the modern tools is that I had a rudimentary one back in the day and still barely watched anything on it
>>218661431You are like a baby
>>218661217I stopped dicking with pirated media once HDR became a thing, because it was a blatant form of DRM on modern media and I haven't found a SINGLE pirate resource that actually remuxes things properly and doesn't just make the files look dark and bit crushed to shit compared to the legal media on streaming/VODStuff where there are still pre-HDR files available? sureStuff where I'm having to trust some basement dwelling dipshit who hasn't talked to a woman since the Obama presidency to encode the HDR properly so it doesn't make the movie look like wet yellow concrete? fuck off
>>218667837People have done this on a smaller scale; it's against TOS though so they get banned
>>218661431>>218667923how are you getting past your isp data caps
>>218662844Nice projection, queer.
>>218668387First world countries don't have data caps.
>>218663059>>218667844I tried some app called Coax on my Apple TV that does exactly this. It works okay, I guess. I would prefer if Criterion Channel just invested more in their Criterion 24/7 channel thing.
>>218668387>isp data capsI feel bad for you. You should live in a better country.
>>218668387>isp data capsAre you from US of A ?>>218662841I tried Plex and Jellyfin.I'm on Jellyfin for now, set it up in 5min, it works fine, and I'm not a Plex-cultist or Jelly-cultist. I need just a server to manage my vids.
>>218667837Multiple iterations of this exist
>>218667975Anon this hasn't been an issue for ages for both remuxes and web-dl.
>>218667837Ask your nephew or your uncle.
>>218667923Wtf storage are you using RAID?
>>218661217me
>>218667923>192 TB>160 TB
>>218663026Plex is actually way more bloated lol
Does a Samsung TV handle it well or do I need to buy a Firestick or some other dongle?
>>218672369>dongleHeh
>>218672369Most Smart TVs have dogshit default operating systems, you should invest in a dedicated streaming device. Fire Sticks are dogshit, though, you should be looking at Roku, Apple TV, or one of those cheap ones from Walmart that can do 4K.
>>218661217Ive created my family's personal "Netflix" with it to keep money from kike hands. You should do the same
>>218661217This basically killed my need for Plex, though I still use Plex and torrenting in fringe cases when Stremio can't come up with a high quality rip (very rarely, usually only in the case of newer foreign/independent films)
I have a 4TB disk like 60% full and everything I put is shit I already saw to share with friends and brothers, probably one or two request from them I didn't watch but I've seen 99% of my jellyfin catalog.
I filled up my 18TB HDD and am now relying on >>218672487 but I'll invest in another HDD someday, probably. Storage prices really need to go down, I probably won't buy anything electronic/PC related until the next presidential administration.
