It's official: Disney is now asking you to pay to share your Disney+ account with other people. The company now offers an official way to pay for an extra user on your account. Per their rules, however, you can probably get around it.

And I thought Mickey Mouse was cute…

    It’s funny, when they announced their third price increase in as many months, it was the final motivation i needed to set up a NAS and Jellyfin. And because i have terabytes of storage, I downloaded the entire catalogue… of Linux distros. And I continue to seed them

    This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I’m OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can’t afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.

    Does anyone have a dead simple tutorial/webpage to setup jellyfin? I always assume it needs a dedicated NAS and I’m not going to do that. I have spare laptops.

        Can someone show me a simple way to share an external drive to Jellyfin in Ubuntu? It’s the last part I’m missing from my setup

            USB formatted to FAT32

            The file path will not work in Jellyfin.

            I’ve tried using the terminal to set a mount point that Jellyfin can use. Apparently the problem is that Jellyfin runs as its own user and so can’t see USB drives that my account connects.

            …or something…? I’ve been trying off-and-on for months. I’m only a dabbler in Linux; getting this set up with an old laptop is my attempt to learn.

            I’m so confused please help.

              You need to:

              • create the mountpoint
              • mount the drive to the mountpoint
              • Give Jellyfin permissions to access the files there

              Since you are using FAT32 which does not support file level permissions I guess this will show up as ‘owned by root’. You will need to do something like this or this

    Disney and the rest of the streaming services can fuck off and welcome back piracy with their shenanigans.

    Shame they’re such greedy dumbasses that continue to kill the golden goose.

    We share all our streaming services and so far nothing has happened because we don’t use smart televisions but only dumb monitors connected to PC/laptop. They can’t figure us out. I don’t think I will ever use a tv again, first because we do not watch live tv anymore, second because smart TVs spy on us and on top try to put ads on and other shite. A mini PC in the living room looks cute, can play anything including local data and they can’t tell if accounts are shared.
