And Russia won the war in Ukraine and Donald Trump won the election in 2020.

I haven't found a problem with Jerboa yet and I can be pretty picky. It does everything I want really well. I'm sure Sync is great too as a long term Sync for Reddit user but credit where credit's due. Jerboa is really nice.

You're not an idiot. Everyone has to figure these things out once.

What's the file extension of the biggest file in the download? (i.e. *.MP4 or *.mkv etc.). Depending what it is you may need to download a player capable of opening or playing or extracting that file.

I'm an idiot. I thought selfhosted was referring to people who were looking for help or a place to talk about hosting their own Lemmy servers. I'm a recent blow in and haven't gotten to look around much. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Will we leave this here as a sign post for others? Funny that I spent the full week looking for info on all this stuff and it was literally right under my nose the whole time.

Well it's not so much that I meant to, as I had a look and the appropriate areas to post seemed to be on servers other than lemmy.world. Maybe that doesn't matter but I just wanted to make sure to post so as I didn't feel I was only lurking and I was on my way out for dinner. Maybe you can clarify what would have been a better way to post? I'm using the Jerboa app if it makes any difference.

 

After a week (maybe over 20 hours). I finally got Open Media Vault sharing a network drive to my Windows PC. It was totally worth it because it's great but in attempting to resolve I had to 'upgrade' to Windows 11... which didn't work. Reset my bios to defaults... This stopped windows booting altogether. Wipe my PC and install Windows 10 fresh which finally worked. I think it would work seemlessly for 90% of people who try it so don't let my horror story scare anyone off. Open Media Vault is great and well worth checking out of you want a relatively cheap highly customisable disk drive that's on your network and accessable from any device (except a worn out install of Windows). You can even install Plex on it which is my next project!
