    Again, I don’t HAVE a folder of media. I don’t WANT a folder of media! That’s the entire reason why I switched to Nuvio! I got tired of having to rip discs and download torrents to build said “folder of media”. I just want to stream.

    Honestly I don’t understand why you guys insist on fighting me about this. Clearly y’all don’t understand what Nuvio does. I implore you to look up how it works before you reply again. Please, for my mental health!

      I… Dont understand the problem? Like if you want to just double click a file and open in VLC, just do that? If you have any level of organization at all, you have a folder of media??

      Like, i have a folder thats /media/shows. I want them in a library, so i tell jellyfin that /media/shows is my library, wait maybe 20 seconds and i have a netflix level library.

      Im not fighting you. I simply dont understand why you either…

      1. have some level of organization and thus can point jellyfin at it

      or

      1. have no organixation whatsoever and thus just double click to open in VLC

      Update; i understand secret 3rd option of

      1. you simply have no media on your pc whatsoever and thus want a collection of sources to stream from

      Which i can respect. Im horrified, but, i respect it.

        Yes, it’s option 3. Why are you so “horrified” by this? Does the concept of people watching YouTube/Freetube/Piped horrify you too?

        Look, this isn’t music we’re talking about; when it comes to movies and TV, I see no point in building a personal library, just how I see no point in downloading YouTube videos. I have my favorites that I’ll re-watch once in a blue moon, yes, but generally once I’m done with a movie/episode, I’m done with it for good. Therefore I see no point in having a movie/TV collection wasting valuable hard drive space.

        Before I discovered Stremio/Nuvio, my workflow was like this:
        Boot up PC > fire UP VPN and open Firefox > Navigate to 1337X > search for something to watch (assuming that I already know what I want to watch) > click magnet link and wait for seeds > transfer file to Jellyfin library > boot up TV > open Jellyfin and watch > delete file

        After switching, my workflow is now this:
        Boot up TV > Open Nuvio > Browse for movie/show > Watch

        I hope I explained it well enough by now. Do you understand the difference now? One of these options requires way more work than the other. Nuvio works exactly like Netflix. It even recommends you content based on your viewing history. No personal library required.
