With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions. (lemm.ee)

I use Hetzner as a seedbox and then have PLEX as my media server ran on the same hardware. It's worked perfectly fine for years. But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I've been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I'm worried they will do the same thing in future.

Does anyone know if that's a real possibility?

Also, if I setup a VPN and just download stuff I torrent from my seedbox to a local PLEX server, would I be in any more risk of legal issues then I am now?

Am I looking at this completely wrong, and I should do something completely different?

To clarify what I am thinking of doing:

Keep my Hetzner as my seedbox and continue to download using my IPTorrents account. Setup a Local Plex or Jellyfin server and download from my seedbox to that local server that will be ran behind a VPN.

Yeah I’ve been wanting to make the full jump to jellyfin anyway. The only thing holding me back really was some extra services I was using that were Plex only. Posterr for example, but jellyfin is on the roadmap and I can just roll my own version until then. The mobile clients have at least gotten pretty good as well for JF.

Well, good luck, and I hope if you try it out, Hetzner works out for you as well as it has for me.

Thanks! And again thank you for all the answers and advice!

What's posterr?

[–] Kitikuru@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a self hosted application that displays the poster art from your media library to a digital sign, tv, or anything with a web browser. It connects to Radarr, Sonarr, and Plex to get the currently playing, releasing soon (and monitored) and your Plex library items.

See the project here: https://github.com/petersem/posterr

I don't quite see the use case for this. Jellyfin shows poster art for your media. Or are you outputting to a different display than you are watching your media on?

I have a separate screen mounted to the wall that shows posters on rotation. It’s an android tablet essentially, but made for interactive store displays.
