I stream it to my TV and other devices, and my plan is to download them offline in the app for our tablets so we can watch stuff on the road. I’d really rather not stream my videos over LTE or whatever in the middle of nowhere (we like road trips). We can stream from the server at our destination (assuming we set up wifi or whatever).
For me it’s easier to rip it once and then have it available on my tv, phone, or computer. It can also remember what episode is next. Plus no annoying mandatory commercials every time you put the disk in the player.
Right but, and I understand you aren’t the person I was originally replying to, they said offline. Offline, so NOT on all these devices out there in the world. That would very much imply ONLINE.
Why are you using Jellyfin to play offline media? Isn’t the point of Jellyfin to have access to your media through a network?

Ah, offline downloads via Jellyfin, makes sense now.

It’s just for home lan use.
