So, like, this is for pirated movies and TV shows, right?
Can be used, probably yeah. Doesn't mean that's the primary purpose. I know plenty of people who buy DVDs and rip them as it's easier to play it back than letting kids fiddle around with DVD players and disks.
Can confirm I know some folks who rip their DVD/BluRay collection to stream in the home.
There's other use cases as well:
- DVR'd recordings
- Public domain videos
- Archived web content
- Home videos / Phone videos
I actually use JellyFin for all of these use cases, and also rip my movie collection using Handbrake. Do most people use it for pirated content? Probably.

So, like, this is for pirated movies and TV shows, right? This and all the alternatives mentioned in the comments too?
Or are people really ripping DVDs and Blu-Rays from huge personal collections?
The library is a pirate's best friend
