  • I did initially, but then changed my setup a little bit.

    My rpi (4b, I think it’s 8GB, but it might be 16. I don’t remember). Also serves as my on site backup for my media. So Jellyfin is connected to the NAS, and the rpi has two drives in a toaster and I have a cron job that syncs new media from the nas to the rpi whenever I add new stuff.

    So kodi is direct playing from the hdds in the toaster.
















  • edit: jfc, typos. I hate typing on phone keyboards.

    Secondary to that is that getting bluray to work on a computer is a pain. It’s not impossible, but its not natively supported on macos or Linux (I dont know about windows, haven’t used it in ages now).

    Whereas if you do use the alternative methods, you don’t have to fight with trying to get the os you’re using to work with bluray




  • Update: Correction. While you do get five years of security updates for Universe on an Ubuntu LTS, those are updates done by the ubuntu community, not canonical. To get Universe security updates from Canonical, you do have to sign up to Ubuntu pro, which can be done without any payment, but as I describe in my original comment, does require creating an account.

    While Canonical deserves the criticisms leveled by op (that I agree with), it’s also incorrect to say that they lock security updated behind a paywall.

    Anyone that does use Ubuntu gets security updated until they stop supporting that particular release version, which iirc is for six years (I may be wrong, thus is from memory).

    If you want extended security updates for a specific version of the os, you can elect to sign up to Ubuntu pro without paying any money. You do have to make an account, and if you so choose you can populate the account info with garbage info and a disposable email, and you’ll get extended security updates for that release version.
