That's not mine. I can remove the link if it makes it look less spammy.. It's not always easy for people to do the setup.
My apologies then. Those debrid services seem like they are run in on borrowed time though so I don’t use it. I have friends that do and seem to like it, but I prefer having a local library (*arr stack)

Classic HN user take. While $600 is obviously a pisspoor budget, they do incredible work compared to closed source solution companies like Plex. Not everything needs to be capitalistic, in fact the product pretty much sells and safeguards itself based on being freeware with pretty quality UX. Who will replace them?
"Capitalistic" is, I'm sure, meant derogatorily. I disagree with the sentiment, and I think the Jellyfin maintainers deserve at least a living wage for their time and efforts.
I agree with the sentiment
However,
> $24000 in the bank
I assume there are multiple developers. If the developers are based on North America or Europe that money does not guarantee a living wage for more than.. some months?

You do need a DNS service with API access for automatically creating/renewing the certificates for things that are only served over tailscale though, since they aren't publicly accessible for the letsencrypt servers to talk to.
I've got a Caddy instance setup which proxies my traffic and has dead easy integration for domain DNS registration. Super handy
Caddy will get SSL certs automatically if it is exposed to the internet and DNS for that domain points to it, but if you are routing over tailscale exclusively Caddy can't automatically validate the domain names over ACME. There is a Caddy extension for doing DNS based validation, but that puts you back to needing a DNS provider with an API.

I don't even have a huge library but it performs terribly on my system due to SQLite. Would love a Postgres backend.
Huh, I always thought one of the main advantages of SQLite was supposed to be the performance. (e.g. it's one of the things they brag about on the website.)
Interesting post about Jellyfin's finances (2024) https://opencollective.com/jellyfin/updates/were-good-seriou... > We have quite a budget collected over the last 5 years, and while we're really happy to see so many in the Jellyfin community contribute to us, we want to ask you to stop! No, really. We don't actually need your money. At least, not here and now. We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthl…
Or, you know, invest the money and try to become more self-sufficient over time, safeguarding development in the future.
Part of the team needed it, part of it saw that as something that shouldn't go that way, so they did what you're supposed to do in open source and forked.
So it's not really a surprise they don't go that way.

Are they not paying themselves?
Part of the team needed it, part of it saw that as something that shouldn't go that way, so they did what you're supposed to do in open source and forked. Ergo they are very much against doing that for that specific project.

I have always had issues with playing high bitrate BluRay remuxes, with HDR and DTS 5.1+ audio. Granted the last time I tried JellyFin was January 2025 so it is possible this has changed. Have there been improvements on this front?
I've been using Jellyfin for roughly 5 years, most of my library are Blu-ray remuxes (50-100 GB) and I haven't had a single one fail to play. My setup is Apple TV with Infuse connected to a LG C9 with a modern Yamaha receiver. Transcoding is a whole can of worms I chose to avoid by playing everything directly.

You should try this: https://neptuneplayer.com/
Looks good...but having to join Discord to try it is one step too many, if I have to be honest.
