Welcome to BlackPearl's homepage

Here are some of the applications on offer. If you would like access to any of them, let me know.

Jellyfin 🪼 (probably why you are here):
The movie and TV show watching portal. If you experience lagging, please turn down your streaming quality, however if you do so, media will take a bit longer to load as the server has to transcode.

Jellyseerr 🧿
Use this to browse upcoming movies and shows, see their ratings, and request them be added to Jellyfin. Requests are typically fulfilled within a day, depending on availability and how busy the download queue is.

Immich 🖼️
Please read the section "Privacy Concerns regarding Immich" below before use.
This is a machine-learning powered photo organiser. It automatically sorts, tags, and recognises faces, locations, objects and even text in your photos to make searching easier, using machine learning and OCR. You can upload pictures directly from your computer or set up automatic syncs on your phone.

SplitPro
This is basically SplitWise, but free and hosted by me. Does most of what splitwise does. Requires a Google Account to work.

Warracker 🛡️
This app allows you to keep track of your purchases with warranties. You can upload photos, invoices, product information, and categorise them with tags.

FAQ

What is transcoding?

A lot of the media stored on the server has very large file sizes. For example, the Lord of the Rings file is around 145GB! This makes it impossible to stream directly to your devices; not only would it take up all my upload bandwidth, it would also take up a lot of your data allocation if you were watching while outside. Transcoding is where the server converts media files on the fly as you press play into a much smaller, more compatible file for your device. This is why if there is a file that is too large, you may notice that it takes a bit longer before the media starts playing on Jellyfin, and also if you scrub around on the timeline: the server has to quickly convert the file on demand, adding some time to the loading process.

How does Jellyseerr work?

Jellyseerr connects to multiple opensource databases such as The TV Database, The Movie Database and IMDB to collect data on all the shows out there. This data includes titles, years, cast, crew, ratings, etc and is called Metadata. When you browse Jellyseerr and see a show you would like that isn't available on the server and request it, Jellyseerr instructs anywhere from 3 to 5 background apps that check to see if the show is available online, and if it can find it, will queue it for download. Once downloaded, the show is then imported into Jellyfin, so it can be scanned in and will then appear in the library.

Privacy concerns regarding Immich

Any photos you upload are kept separate in its own folder, and I do not have access to your account in the Immich interface. However, I do have access to the raw image files in the backend and cannot guarantee that I may not accidentally see your media when doing some maintenance. As such, please do not upload any media that you do not want me to see to Immich.
