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.

And you're the norm, not the exception. Too many people choose to evangelize instead of looking at real-world use cases for the majority. I used to use Nvidia boxes around the house with Kodi. It worked but my wife and kids sure thought it was a pain in the rear often enough that it made it a pain for me too.

@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.
