Dad of the year
it's important to teach your children the importance of a healthy seed to download ratio.
This is why I had to go edit all my media's metadata and even edit themoviedb.com with proper MPAA ratings.
Also why I have early childhood, late childhood, and screening libraries for both movies and shows in my jellyfin.
I'm thinking about doing that! My 2 year old is still too young for that, but when he's ready, I hope I am too! Do you have any tips for organizing your library like that? Did you use commonsensemedia or sites like that?
I recommend just thinking of the things you liked as a kid or you that you think might teach your kid something you think is important and watch it first (screen) Then place it into the appropriate library.
I've been using two separate libraries, "early childhood" which kinda works out to g ratings (3-7 years) and "late childhood" which is kinda like PG (7+) but there is overlap since something's are just not rated or sometimes I disagree with the rating.
You'd be surprised how many things for kids might not teach them anything worth while or might induce nightmares. So I just don't put those into the kids libraries. Once you have media stored in children libraries, then you can make a child account for jellyfin if you want.
Obviously, research what screen time does to children and decide for yourself how much screen time you feel your child should have. Personally, I don't even turn in a screen around my child until we spend 2 hours outside and then its only for 15 mins of passive watching a day. I also like to use animation for children as its good at portraying emotions. Also after we watch something we talk about it. Episodes of Bluey and most studio Ghibli films work well with this method.
I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.
I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.
We'd just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you'd get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)
I later found out that they'd put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.
Wait is this not normal hahaha
I actually worry more about my kid accidentally narcing on me. Any parents have solutions for this?
Nobody cares. Tell your kids it's illegal once they are old enough to understand. My youngest just realized at 13. She always thought it was just another streaming service.
Narcing you out to who the Motion Picture Association?

Raise your kid to understand when the right time to tell someone when bad things are happening and when to not. This should naturally be taught for what morals and ethics you would want to instill. So the solution is to raise your kids with understanding and don't live in fear. Explain why you move the way you do. Not just monkey see monkey do.
I'd recommend Dr. Ramones' therapeutic procedure.
I guess it's some onion style website. The 20k fine made me not believe the story, otherwise it was totally believable, i know multiple guys who behave like this
Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.
I didn’t know it was still going.
Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/
They even have a video game spinoff hard-drive.net
My kid is the only one in the cul-de-sac with Minecraft. We have quite the popular couch this month.
If I ever have a kid they will be the one that has friends over for Minecraft LAN parties.
I'm already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he's old enough.
Why don't you just get one beefy computer, then use something like Nucleus Co-op to split screen multiple sessions of the game on one TV?
Or if you've already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.
No need for a special TV in either case 😉
Lmao I'm in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.
I just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.
Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.
My kids are so used to ad-free YouTube, they nag me when it breaks.
Too bad lots of them are probably in 720x400 resolution (700-1400mb avi encoded 20 years ago) ._. cough cough cough
That's the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They're going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.
A good movie in 720p will always be a good movie. A crappy movie with shitty story and shitty acting will still suck in 4K or 8K or 4D or whatever will come. Like good vinyl LPs from 60s-70s never really went bad if they were well taken care of...
Man. It's bad. When I see an AVI in my collection I'm hit with three feelings. Disgust Nostalgia Conflict: replace it? Or keep. Because the hell if I'm keeping two.
Maybe I should just screenshot the media details?
I feel validated.
Ha! Ha! And yet, it's all YIFY files!
Completely missed their opportunity to start the headline with "Proud New Dad" and having the reveal at the end be that he was no less proud of this before fatherhood.
Why store media locally? Whenever you want you can just download it or pirate-stream it
EDIT
haha y'all downvoters got me rollin 🤣
Streaming sites go down all the time and the quality is usually terrible. Downloading the same stuff every time you want to watch it is just wasting the seeders bandwidth.
If you don't hold it, you'll eventually lose it. Plus sharing is loving, and if you don't have it you can't share it.
How do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn't just a bragging score, it's aiding the communal health.
Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that'll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it'd be a shame to waste it.
60 TB is really great.
Planning on creating such setup. Mind sharing your current setup and howw you maintain it ?
I am thinking which drives and what size and backup system to use.
Ratio is also for bragging ;)
Just as a side effect.
I'm not talking about streaming it from p2p, I'm talking about streaming it from pirate sites that make money on ads (which i have blocked)
You see that single upvote? That's me. But only because of your brutal honesty.
I did not brush my teeth today. I threw batteries in the trash. I'm proud of you, man.
Because I like things to look good on a TV and surround system, not a phone with a tinny speaker.
My kids ask when I'm adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time
Mine doesn't care about jellyfin yet. Soon though.
Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂
Use Jellyseerr will make your life easier, streamline the approval process.
If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I'd have done the same.
Though in my family, I'm far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests
