So, I just got jellyfin running in docker and so far just uploaded some photos. I’m just wondering what most of you are using it for. I’m asking because I really don’t have a music connection like I had many years ago, best I pay for Apple music. Also I have no movie collection either. Maybe I don’t even need jellyfin, but I love selfhosting and jellyfin is fantastic in it’s possible uses. I don’t understand the live TV or DVR options I’m still playing with the settings.

I guess I’m asking you guys to tell me why I need jellyfin and what else I could use it for.

Thanks for understanding my thoughts.

You guys here have thought me so much about selfhosting and I appreciate it greatly!

    Here’s an idea, check out ytdl-sub: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

    You can set it to track a YouTube channel and it will download videos and set up nice collections for you in Jellyfin, which you’ll never lose again and can watch without ads.

      I’ve looked at this and it’s very complicated at least to me. I can’t make sense of how to use it with jellyfin. I’ll keep trying to figure it out. Instructions are very good. Thanks again!
