Yes, which i literally said “cell tower / similar location option”

Cell tower is the lowest power cost for getting location, GPS is the most power hungry.

I’ve used tasker for 13 years, im quite aware it can do GPS :P

Yeah thars what I said :P

You’ve misread that. When he leaves his home network, he has it switch off wifi to prevent it being picked up by other networks. Probably has it being switched back on by cell tower / similar location option

Thank you! Lol

No, i don’t. And stop calling me a hoe!

I have audiobookshelf, along with readarr for downloading and the two have a totally compatible naming structure configured so it works like a dream. Not 100% sure it was that way at default or if I had to configure readarr to match what audiobookshelf needed.

It’s annoying it won’t subfolder the server under domain for reverse proxy, but that’s not too much of a worry.

Workspaces? Don’t recall if it has its own icons

Yup, pretty much :P

Seriously worth a go, takes minutes to setup if you’re already ready for docker containers. Restart it often (dailiy is the official guidance, i find it doesnt need that with only me as user, i just do it when it starts to feel sluggish) - and I’ve put it behind a reverse proxy with auth to keep it to myself

I got sick of some of the various Invidious instances taking 5+ refreshes to load a video, so ended up installing my own instance and its been a much nicer experience

Great guide, two things though

I notice you mention Prowlarr, I’d probably suggest it and jackett - i ran both for a while then dropped Jackett as all my matches were coming through Prowlarr and its just less admin to add sources there once and have them add to the rest of the servarr apps

Also, you might want to look at https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ - A great plex like app for streaming audiobooks specifically

I wouldnt trust a cantenna or anything like that for wellbing of someone, there’s just too many variables even down to atmospheric pressure which is going to affect wifi signal with something like that. That said, if you can put a rasberry pi at his house, maybe in the house but on the nearest wall to the access point / router, then something like this might be workable

I have a number of these buttons about the house

I have a RasPi running https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/

I have one of these flashed as hub / bridge https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203668277433?var=504097716478

Then just some python connecting to the mqtt and responding which I’d be happy to provide a copy of if you decide to go down that route, just let me know. Could have it sending a pushover notification or something along those lines quite easily

Hah, half of one of my passwords is the username from my dialup ISP from about 98. Right in the feels.

This sounds amazing, definitely going to add this to my servarr setup next few days.

If you pre-encode and sync over episodes for later, then yes plex will work better for you. If you watch streaming over 4g then you’d be unaffected

Plex does reencode and sync to phone for offline watching. Jellyfin you would stream direct. If you often go places with no Internet then sync is better, otherwise you’d be fine.

This article covers it in depth.

It’s a different answer for someone already invested and paid up for life on plex though than it is for someone looking to do their first install.

Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - Install Jellyfin
