Some background. I set up a Jellyfin server for my family to host TV shows and movies for them for free. I finally had enough of Xfinity and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet, but in doing so, I lost the ability to control my network’s port forwarding. I’m spending literally half the previous amount on internet and getting the same speeds, so I don’t plan on going back.

What I do plan on doing is setting up a new server at my parent’s house and running it on their network. Problem is that I’m 2 hours away. My plan is to use Qbit, jackett, and the arrs to automatically download torrents. Is there any way to automatically rename torrents to match Jellyfin’s naming convention for organization and metadata downloads?

    This “you can’t Forward your own ports” shit needs to be made illegal. It’s cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren’t one of the big tech companies.

    Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?

      Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we’ll stop seeing this… For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something’s gotta give.
