How to watch, listen, and read with Jellyfin
Jellyfin is an app that looks and works like Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Spotify, Audible, or other streaming apps, but it is free and contains content you will not find on platforms. We can add anything to the library, and no company or government can remove it.
You can watch all the movies, listen to audiobooks and music, view pictures, and read any books at https://ravergram.club/jellyfin or https://ravergram.club/jellyfin-vue. For the best experience on all your devices such as your TV, install the app and enter the server https://ravergram.club/jellyfin in the setup. You can quick connect (without entering password) to Jellyfin on your TV if you have the mobile app installed.
Your account credentials are the same as your main Ravergram account that you use to log into the portal, Nextcloud, and others. Ask me if you have any trouble logging in since I have not created a Jellyfin account for everybody.
How to add content with Nextcloud
Media on Nextcloud can be viewed and streamed directly from Nextcloud, but viewing is not as full featured as Jellyfin.
If you want to upload media to be viewed in Jellyfin, move or copy it to the right folder in mediashare. Soon after uploading via this folder in Nextcloud, it should be visible in Jellyfin app.
Please don't upload junk. Try to clean up the naming and metadata tags before uploading. Jellyfin will automatically look up metadata and images for media and allow you to change metadata. You can use https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ on your desktop to automatically tag music. To delete files, tell me to do so.
If you are looking for something and don't know how to find it, ask me over Talk or any channel. I can probably find it and show you how to do so. Some methods are documented here.
π Please don't abuse
