Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

      Does anyone know if it’s possible to run a self-hosted Jellyfin server without having to run an entire data center on your house? I could do something simple like a NUC or equivalent and a tiny NAS, anything else?

        I have my jellyfin running on ubuntu server on a 12 year old PC with a bunch of salvaged HDDs added in, plugged into my standard home internet. I have like 10 people I share it with. So far it’s not made a noticeable dent in either the internet usage or the electric.

        There’s people running old raspberry pis with USB hard drives.

        It’ll run on just about anything.

        Though, you’ll only be able to stream original quality, no on the fly quality changes for low speed connections and such.

        You absolutely can. Currently running mine off of my desktop, but it’s overkill and have a few coworkers that used nucs/cheap mini PCs to setup jellyfin. Biggest thing is to make sure you have enough storage to hold all of your media, then you’re fine.

        You can probably run it off your existing hardware just using an external drive(s).

        They’re probably saying that they run the self hosted jellyfin app and stream their own media. That’s what I do, and have been doing for like a decade because netflix and other shitty streaming companies can eat a bag of dicks (except Dropout, they’re real Gs) from the number of times I’ve gone to watch something on my watch later list only to find out they didn’t get the license this quarter so 🖕to my movie night

          Thank you. Yeah I’m so fed up of netflix, all the free on-demand streaming services in the UK are better than Netflix now, and have the same amount of ads. I torrent a fair bit but I used to like Netflix for casually watching things I might not have found otherwise. The only thing is that there’s nothing to find on there anymore.

            Yeah, I still remember when netflix was good. My absolute favorite feature they had was one I used on my PS3, was Max. It was this ‘assistant’ who would ask you a bunch of questions and then pick a number of suggestions you can look through to pick a movie when you didn’t know what to watch. It was fucking awesome, and I still periodically look for something similar for jellyfin.
