Is there any tutorial for this ?
I did this, but only use it for music. I've ripped a bunch of CDs into FLAC format over the years. Now I'm storing those on a storage VPS and using Plex and the Plexamp app to listen to them. I have a storage VPS with a provider that has a private network between VPSes in the same location, so Plex is running on a VPS with a more powerful CPU, and the storage is mounted via NFS.
In the case of music, you can leave transcoding enabled as it's not very CPU intensive.
Can you run other stuff on the same system as the backup server, or does it have to be dedicated to just the Proxmox backup server? Their documentation mostly says to install it on a bare-metal server by itself which is why I haven't really looked into it.
The stuff I see on LET is unreal.
I thought I was lazy...
Gosh, you have plenty of free time. Here is how I do it:
Yes I run other applications on it as well, does not degrade or effect any of the other applications I have running on it.
Been using jellyfin for few years (plex etc is crap), never a problem on low end type of vpses (1-2 vcpu, 1-2gb ram), even playing 4k content (13-25gb per movie, 3-9gb per tv episode). Just make sure it plays direct, no transcoding, and to do that use jellyfin windows or android app. Browsers usually missing some codecs, so once some missing, it starts transcoding, and that is why it lags, because it uses a lot of cpu. If playing direct, it only uses few % of cpu.
edit: Personally i have wireguard installed, deluge and jellyfin. I always use wireguard while watching jellyfin.
Is there any particular browser that would work with direct play? Or how to add codecs in the browsers?
And how to confirm if browser has codecs, if any?
I typically use brave browser.
Thnx
On a side note, is it possible to disable transcoding entirely from server-side?
Have no idea if you can add codecs into browser. For which browser, supports what codecs- google jellyfin codecs, they have a list. I think Edge supports the most out of all browsers, but i use windows app because it supports everything as far as i recall, its much faster. Do not forget there is a lot of crap in the browsers too, so better use native app.
edit: as far as disabling transcoding, not sure, probably there is off section somewhere in settings. I just download 4k, and play it as auto, or the highest setting (4k-120mbps), so it plays direct. Do not forget, you actually do need good internet. I watched task manager network stats, it can spike to over 200mbps while watching 4k, especially movies. Though 4k tv show of 4-5gb, starts with 60-90 mbps, but then drops and usually lingers-idles at constant usage of 14-32mbps.
appreciate your kind response. Atleast when I was using jellyfin earlier, Windows app was not very stable. I can give it a try again now.
Did you say Android app has most of the codecs and would allow direct play in most cases? Not tried that actually
Yeah, I understand the need for good internet connection as always.
None of my content is in 4k, yet.
Dude, you now want spoon feeding, i literally said google jellyfin codecs. I do not know by memory, and definitely not googling for you.
It has to be something wrong with your pc or something if you had problems with jellyfin windows app, especially if you only playing 1080p. I never had problems with windows app for 2 years that i been using.
If you really value your time, You don't watch all those media in the first place
You can do this with Plex.
That's what flexget, sickchill, radarr and jacket, etc are for.
You're doing apartmenting wrong. You don't even live in China or New York City, you're in some Podunk town that should be cheap with space... I'm in a 70's apartment with the shittiest outlet placement (they didn't put in overhead lights, FFS!).
You don't need to write your own scripts, everything exists already, and works well. You're skipping over the wheels to walk.
Burning cycles? You know what the TBW for even the shittiest SSD? You're not getting the value of an SSD if you don't use it. And then delete it after watching.
Also, why are you expecting the FBI at your door? I'd think you'd have bigger problems at that point.
Yeah, that's not how that works. Whether you stream it to RAM or download doesn't make a legal difference (a copy to RAM and a copy to flash means fuck all difference). Read that FBI notice more closely. Also, a Judge wouldn't see the difference nor care.
That's not "spoonfeeding" if he's asking questions to learn (Reminder, this is a fucking discussion forum). It's spoonfeeding when they don't learn and just want copy/paste or step by step instructions.
You didn't provide very much useful information to whine about spoonfeeding... you come off as a douche.
I don't see any option to disable transcoding even on playback settings.
The apartment comes with a cabinet (for folded clothes), two chairs (for unfolded clothes), a table (for business laptop), a dresser (for personal laptop and desktop), and a bed (for the strong boy).
If I have TV, it has to go on the floor, which does not give good viewing experience.
I have SAMSUNG MZVLW256HEHP-000H1 in the desktop.
smartctl says 14.0 TB has been written so far, 3% used.
Twitch streamers often receive surprise FBI visits because disgruntled viewers report dubious crimes of them.
While I don't stream on Twitch, I have channels on YouTube etc, so I should expect the same someday.
Ok. Your apartment (is it even?) sucks. It sounds like you just have a room... Get a better apartment.
So, you're not even putting it to use.
The fuckers with the guns that knock the door down in a SWAT raid aren't the shirts that raid your place for copyright evidence. I'm not aware of any reasonable search on a SWAT call where they'd pull up your Amazon player and check your authorization.
Sure, if you pay my rent.
In return, I'll install Comcast and give you VPN with residential IP, guaranteed unlock Netflix.
Stop sniffin glue. It is spoon-feeding, because i do not know exact information, only a bit by memory. Therefore to provide the answer for him, i would have to go and google for him, and then provide all that info here. Thats spoonfeeding, while he could easily just type in google Jellyfin codecs and 1st link brings it to their codec support page.
p.s.No need of name calling though, dont be acting tough via internet.
If you press on users>media playback, there are:
Allow video playback that requires transcoding and Allow audio playback that requires transcoding
Based.
(also, they are not "stolen" - nobody lost them, you just got a better copy of them which you can play without any DRM fuckery)
Well my setup is:
Torrent allowed VPS+qBitorrent-nox+Plex+two self hosted telegram bots. One for searching and getting torrents and another one for managing qBittorrent. Plex Transcoding is off. Watching a movie is as simple as sending the bot a message with the movie name, get the magnet link of desired size and quality, forward it to other bot and wait for a few minutes:
If it is a non torrent allowed VPS or the one wirh not enough storage available, have used the below. https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid
Pros: get the content almost instantly on Plex by simply adding it to Trakt or Plex etc watchlist. Cons: need a paid subscription to debrid services(less than $3/pm). This can be done locally too especially in places where copyright laws are strict.
Apologies if this a dumb question, what is the best way to download from VPS, after download using qbitorrent other than FTP?
I would like to download on the vps, then download from there to my mobile/pc
Installing any webserver should do.
I can't tell if you're master tier shitposter or actually just like this. Either way, keep it up.
Yes, Check this out.

you have said correct.
