Love the picture, thanks for posting!

how would we believe you without any proof? …

easiest is just to get a newer intel i3 with iGPU.

transcodes everything and is very fast at it as well with quicksync. and uses a low amount of power.

I suspected that, so it’s working similar to how newpipe works.

not really usable for me then sadly, damn

does it allow me to login and get my recommendations from yt, or is it without any login functionality?

you could mount your media as read only :ro assuming you use a container

give symfonium a try

just copy over your profile backup that you certainly created beforehand

one main question should also be, do you want to selfhost or not.

because plex is not selfhosted imo due to their login servers.

you could use tailscale for that, it should be able to punch through the CGNAT

easiest fix is to correctly name the files for the first season. then you should be good to go

check your metadata and set the correct artist there. for every issue related to that it has always been shitty (extended) metadata. (with people often claiming “no but it’s fine” until they take a real look at it and see that it’s shit).

so give it a look and clean that up e.g. with mp3tag and/or musicbrainz picard and you will be good to go.

that looks really good!

how much work/how difficult was it?

the real LPT is always in the comments
