Streama VS mediacms

I think this would be a bit of a hiding to nothing, an alternative considering you own all the DVD's, would be /r/selfhosting on something like Streama or Plex - assuming you have some spare hardware to do so, and can be bothered digitising your collection!

https://github.com/streamaserver/streama or Airsonic maybe?

I used Streama a few times. It's really great. You should check it out. https://github.com/streamaserver/streama Demo: https://streama.demo-version.net/

Ahhh I see! Jellyfin was great, but I ended up moving to Streama as it's got a nice interface akin to Netflix's one! It doesn't have the bells and whistles Plex and Kodi do though, and no TV stuff - I normally just pop an HDMI cable from a laptop into the TV.

Last, host something like https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms to serve the optimized files. As long as your clients are not halfway across the world, they should be able to watch the videos with relative ease.

MediaCMS might just be what you are looking for

https://mediacms.io/ is the link.

Sounds like a self hosted youtube could do that. Haven’t tried this yet but someone mentioned it a couple days ago here. https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms

Hey, Paul, the only thing I've seen for this on this subreddit or similar places is Media CMS. I don't believe that there is a way to add an ad banner, but I don't know how that works at all, so perhaps there is. Otherwise, videos are rendered in different resolutions to save bandwidth (pre-transcoded when you upload); users indeed are able to upload photos, videos, documents even; download is possible of the content in original, is a Docker compose stack; rendering via GPU can indeed be done via Docker.

I am looking for an app for a similar problem and the best solution I found was mediacms. Unfortunately the setup is not really easy and I couldn't get it to work.
