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…

    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

          What do you mean by external drive in this case? USB? NAS? What have you tried already?

            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
