CCatMan ( @CCatMan@lemmy.one ) 3•2 years agoI’ll likely use the forum when Google searching questions. The jellyfin thread here in the fediverse is pretty good actually.
Pigeon ( @Lowbird@beehaw.org ) 3•2 years agoSo for people who have the same obvious question as I did, Jellyfin appears to be software for self-hosting your own streaming service, so you can stream video or music or etc from your own computer to your other devices. Or so I gather from their main page.
BrainisfineIthink ( @BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one ) 3•2 years agoNot trolling at all, genuine question…what is jellyfin?
TiphaineRupa ( @TiphaineRupa@feddit.de ) 4•2 years agoIt’s an emby fork (after emby maintainers decided to move to closed source) If you don’t know emby either, it’s something like plex (self hosted media server)
CCatMan ( @CCatMan@lemmy.one ) 3•2 years agoLocal media management software, server and client side. Similar to Plex, but not at the same time.
hyperspace ( @hyperspace@kbin.social ) 2•2 years agoImpressive, very based
SomeBoyo ( @SomeBoyo@feddit.de ) 1•2 years agoA surprise to be sure but a welcome one
