I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

You’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

If you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.

Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

I am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

Spout nonsense with enough confidence and you can wield unimaginable power. Am I talking about LLMs or president poopy pants?

Mine was in the Athens/Acropolis area.

SmartTubeNext has been working fairly well for me for like 5 years or something. It’s super easy to side load on a Fire stick.

I’ll continue not playing the game I’ve never played before. I’m doing my part!

A few bad actors can undo the work of thousands of hardworking people who care. I genuinely don’t know if the problem is solvable if it requires cooperation of the entire species. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

They’re gonna turn it around. Kirk had a Nokia car phone in Star Trek (2009).

I don’t understand why using AI is what makes this illegal. I don’t know the laws in Spain, but would it be illegal if they used a pencil or a paint brush? Seems like a weird line to draw if not.

I also found the game this way but we opted to buy the game outright rather than renting it perpetually with game pass. It was a sound investment because my wife and I complete the tower every week.

I’m doing something similar with KODI and. NAS currently. I’m curious to know if you set up a MySQL database to sync your watch history across devices? I have been reading up on it but since my NAS is just a portable USB HDD plugged into my router, I don’t think I can include this option.

Best part is how we went down the exact same path 100 years ago and learned absolutely nothing from it.
