Afaik it was inaccessible only today and now working again. What issue are you experiencing?

Funkwhale?

It’s true I want hours of playback, but in the car, it’s possible to draw up to 100 watt from the outlet and in trains you have 230 volt outlets. At least in Denmark.

On a plane, you usually only have USB, but I’m not sure I like the idea of setting up WiFi on a plane 😅

That’s great to hear. It has been around a year since I tried it out.

Your suggestion is “good enough” and what I do now, but as you say, it could be fun to make a little project out of it. Figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

Maybe I’m just bad at setting up Plex, but I have never had its download feature work properly.

But also, the storage is limited on the device, so we always end up with a very small library of media, that’s quickly consumed.

I will definitely try this out! 😁

It’s not a bad solution and I have used eSIMs before when I was traveling in Asia. However, all of these “unlimited” eSIM plans has a lot of buts. Either the speed is limited to close to unusable for streaming and/or you are limited to only use x amount of GB when using hotspot.

Also depending on the country, the coverage can be awful.

I’m pretty sure revolt.chat is still going? I am using it.

True, but if your devices, in this case; iPads with only 64GB, it quickly gets filled up.

Project is dead, but could be worth looking into. Thank you.

Genius! Why didn’t I think of that 😂

Can you connect the hard drive to multiple devices? 😉

If you are on the road or simply travelling a place with bad internet, then what?

The iPads only have 64GB and I do usually download some stuff from Netflix, ATV+ and Plex if it actually worked.

What if I have no internet? 😅

Exactly and thank you for the link! 😁

I am looking for a solution where you have the media with you, so you don’t need an internet connection to watch your media.

The media server at home is a great solution that I already use, but if you have 3 people watching in the car, using mobile data, you won’t have anything left when you get to your destination😅

Exactly. The point is to carry the media with you and access it without an actual internet connection. Especially on the go.

If I understand you correctly, I could install Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi, setup a local WiFi on it and connect to it with an iPad that has a Jellyfin client installed?
