    Lmao I’m in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.

      That’s the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They’re going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.

    I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

    I’m sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

      My kid’s always asking my ex, “Mom, why don’t you just get Jellyfin? It has, like, everything.”

      We’d just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you’d get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)

      I later found out that they’d put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.

    This is why I had to go edit all my media’s metadata and even edit themoviedb.com with proper MPAA ratings.

    Also why I have early childhood, late childhood, and screening libraries for both movies and shows in my jellyfin.

      I’m thinking about doing that! My 2 year old is still too young for that, but when he’s ready, I hope I am too! Do you have any tips for organizing your library like that? Did you use commonsensemedia or sites like that?

        I recommend just thinking of the things you liked as a kid or you that you think might teach your kid something you think is important and watch it first (screen) Then place it into the appropriate library.

        I’ve been using two separate libraries, “early childhood” which kinda works out to g ratings (3-7 years) and “late childhood” which is kinda like PG (7+) but there is overlap since something’s are just not rated or sometimes I disagree with the rating.

        You’d be surprised how many things for kids might not teach them anything worth while or might induce nightmares. So I just don’t put those into the kids libraries. Once you have media stored in children libraries, then you can make a child account for jellyfin if you want.

        Obviously, research what screen time does to children and decide for yourself how much screen time you feel your child should have. Personally, I don’t even turn in a screen around my child until we spend 2 hours outside and then its only for 15 mins of passive watching a day. I also like to use animation for children as its good at portraying emotions. Also after we watch something we talk about it. Episodes of Bluey and most studio Ghibli films work well with this method.

          Thanks for the heartfelt response! I’m almost done with screening Bluey (loving it) even though I don’t plan on putting my kid in front of a screen for as long as possible (“Screens: the later the better” is our motto for now)

      I’m already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he’s old enough.

      Raise your kid to understand when the right time to tell someone when bad things are happening and when to not. This should naturally be taught for what morals and ethics you would want to instill. So the solution is to raise your kids with understanding and don’t live in fear. Explain why you move the way you do. Not just monkey see monkey do.

      Just hide a bag of cocaine in their room. Their credibility will plummit simply by pointing out to authorities that they have a hard drug problem and showing evidence.

      Nobody cares. Tell your kids it’s illegal once they are old enough to understand. My youngest just realized at 13. She always thought it was just another streaming service.

        Now that I think about it, has anyone ever asked Netflix if they have the rights to stream what they’re watching? Of course not, you just assume it’s fine.

    I just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.

    Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.
