I have the DVD. It's somewhere in the pile.

I need to one day develop a DVD/BR/book catalogue app to get even vague idea about what exactly is on my shelves and boxes. It has long since gone unmanageable. At least I know what's my next major project after NaNoWriMo.

Also why I invested in the hardware and software for Blu-ray ripping. I now have a Pioneer drive in a USB enclosure, and can now rip even 4K Blu-rays from any region. So many special features I was missing out on, though a lot of disc releases are cheaping out on them these days.

Only annoying part about ripping is the freaking maze of playlists on many Blu-rays, especially for Special Features, and none of the player software I've tried yet has a feature to tell you what playlist and video file you're currently watching. So you basically have to rip everything and then check each video file afterwards.

If you have your own domain name+control over the DNS entries, a cute trick you can use for Jellyfin is to set up a fully qualified DNS entry to point to your local (private) IP address.

So, you can have jellyfin.example.com point to 192.168.0.100 or similar. Inaccessible to the outside world (assuming you have your servers set up securely, no port forwarding), but local devices can access.

This is useful if you want to play on e.g. Chromecast/Google TV dongle but don't want your traffic going over the Internet.

It's a silly trick to work around the fact that these devices don't always query the local DNS server (e.g., your router), so you need something fully qualified


but a private IP on a public DNS record works just fine!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I don't think fully qualified means what you think it means...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I feel the need to point out that some dns servers block this. In piHole for example, you need to allow this. Some Routers do it too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

TIL, thanks. I use namecheap and haven't had any problems (mikrorik router).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Oh snap. Genius. Thanks for the idea. I do have a domain I registered and never used!

Couple things I've tried to watch recently that I couldn't find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they're available on physical media).

Basketball Diaries

Less Than Zero

Very annoying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Try to find the movie Parents. It's almost impossible. Eating Raoul too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I've never heard of Very Annoying. Is it good?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

It's three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

yeah it's a AAA stunner of a movie. Great christmas flick.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 hours ago

My wife and I moved into our first house together on Halloween, 1995, so that night we drank a bottle of champagne, watched Young Frankenstein, and handed out candy. Every year since then we've done the same thing to celebrate our anniversary of living together, though sometime a different movie. This year, we couldn't find our DVD, so decided to stream it and found what you did. Apparently Disney bought it and for some reason decided not to make it available. Very frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You probably can get the bluray from one of those bulk sellers. Pick up a bunch of movies and get combined shipping

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah wouldnt that reward bad behavior?

Although buying physical also send an important market msg

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I watched it on a website a few months ago for class

"I'm afraid Young Frankenstein has grown up. All that's available is Old Frankenstein."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

You jest, but reading the user reviews on RT, I can tell a lot of the jokes in this film are lost on the gen-z crowd. Shame, really. But I guess it's inevitable.

Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Client apps are more limited but otherwise floss purist swear by it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Any difference in remote access? I think you gotta pay plex for that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I remote access jellyfin just fine. Got a reverse ddns proxy on my synology nas so you can probably do the same thing for free.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

That's also true.

Remote access is above my pay grade though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Personal preference, really. For me, jellyfin is much simpler to use, very easy to self-host in docker. And the clients are great too. I use desktop, android and roku regularly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven't already seen it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I was not aware of that but will track it down.

RIP to the whole cast of this film.
