Torbox support?
I also started becoming paranoid, whether someone was collecting my data and offering them to “the highest bidder”
Debrid services do collect data, the recent RealDebrid drama seems relevant since this app is basically for use with those services

It actually seems more private to self host Jellyfin to stream/playback already downloaded media files but that's just my own interpretation.
Sure, there is that risk as well...but since it runs in a docker container, it's easier to pipe all these requests through a VPN tunnel. And yes, one could pipe all their network devices (or just the android box) through VPN.
But then again, the installed app, might also collect data from within the network, etc.
What are the differences between Odin and (what I'm currently using) Jellyfin from a small system admin's perspective?
Odin doesn't play local content, instead it gets the streamable media directly from a debrid service like RealDebrid
Oh, I see. That was a dummy question, my apologies
Putting such a project on Github is going to be risky, but maybe your case is again one of these where you can argue, you are not supplying the media yourself.
Seeing as this uses RealDebrid, wasn't there some drama around the service recently? Not a subscriber, so don't have any direct contact to this, just remember some threads where a company offering the services started giving out user info to the local government.
Yeah... I mean, my stuff doesn't do anything illegal, at least I hope so.
Ther was some drama indeed, but nothing to worry about, especially if you use a VPN, throw-away emails and bitcoins.
in a nutshell, the French government wasn't happy about them providing instant links to video files. they then removed a feature from their api, and all seems good again.
