Jellyfin 10.9 Coming Soon!
Anyone have a good source that explains how to setup and find safe media. Computer literacy is not my strong point.
Buy Blurays and rip them to your machine. From there copy them into Jellyfin.
You will need a Bluray reader, Handbrake and MakeMKV
In this order:
1. Rip the BluRay-Disk (or DVD) with MakeMKV, you will got the film with all languages and subtitles in one MKV-File;
2. Shrink the MKV-File with Handbrake and save it as H264/H265 or better as AV1 (better because open-source and the future).
Do not use AV1 or at least don’t use it as of now as it isn’t supported my most devices. I think there is exactly one phone that supports it as of now

A lot of newer Android-TV-Settop-Boxes are ready for AV1, for example products from Orbsmart.de like my Orbsmart S87L.
On that box is Kodi preinstalled and you can install everything from android-stores, also the Jellybin-client.
Don't forget: Jellybin is a very good open-source-software, but a client-server-system. So you need Hardware for the server-software.

My point is that H264 is well supported everywhere so I personally am in no hurry to switch. Non of my devices support AV1 so it is a waste of my time for the most part.
What’s worse is when I first started a bunch of people recommended AV1 which lead to Jellyfin not working.
You also need hardware behind the client, for it being able to do hardware decoding. Unless you want the server to constantly transcode everything you watch, for all phones and PC clients…
@clemensg @possiblylinux127 @PM_Your_Nudes_Please @Bluefalcon A lot of Android TV boxes also come with malware pre-installed. I am not familiar with any particular box by name, but it’s not a small percentage of them. I’d exercise caution with using anything pre-installed.
