Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible "forever"

Lol, and this is money I never spent.

And instead it went to server and loads of disks, for a Jellyfin server.

And you know what? I 'pierat' and I keep all my files. When the money grubbers can get that through their thick skull, I'll start buying.

But until that time, this scam 'purchase' is a shitty rental.

On a side note, I really wish the Jellyfin people would do some work on their UI. It's pretty wonky for me. The underpinnings seem good, but using it on my TV to just find a file I just copied onto my HD into ~/Videos isn't all that easy.

Ah yeah, you have to do a rescan of that library to index the content.

Usually, rescans happen at night 12a local time. But if you manually put new content on a library, you have to manually scan.

I also do that when I download mega-content packages. They're usually not adhering to Jellyfin's methodology of content index. So I fix it, and rescan. And once the scan indicates done, it's usually all good.
