Genuinely curious.
- loughnane 2y agoFor movies and TV shows people either rip them off of personal collections and/or download them from the internet. When combined with `yt-dlp` you can use it to download videos from your favorite channels. This is especially valuable as there's no guarantee the videos will be there for free forever. It's also a nice place to put family videos and recorded sporting events.
- hyperhopper 2y agoLegally purchased DVDs and home video collections that have been legally backed up onto hard drives
- bigstrat2003 2y agoSame. Illegally backed up, in my case, because the DMCA is ridiculous and prohibits backing things up unless you crack the DRM personally. But I don't care, as that is a stupid law and I have the moral right to rip my discs if I want. But the content was legally purchased originally which is what matters imo.
- furyofantares 2y agoI have a script that scrapes a few youtube channels which my kid uses jellyfin to watch. Youtube is otherwise not allowed, too easy to watch all sorts of crap.
- spacebear 2y agoSame. Big fan of the YouTube metadata plugin.
- furyofantares 2y agoDidn't know about that. Thanks.
