Eh, Chromecast has AV1 and so do some smart TVs already. If that is your primary watching platform, encode away in AV1 and get an Arc A380 for the rest. It will also massively decrease encoding times.
When looking for media online, you pretty much just need a good adblocker and the sense not to run any random executables.
The media files themselves are very unlikely to have malware attached. They would need to exploit a bug in the specific video player you are using and then exploit another bug in your OS to get admin privileges before doing any real damage. It’s pretty much just theoretical. Keep your stuff up to date and don’t worry about it.
Anyone have a good source that explains how to setup and find safe media. Computer literacy is not my strong point.
Buy Blurays and rip them to your machine. From there copy them into Jellyfin.
You will need a Bluray reader, Handbrake and MakeMKV

In this order:
#Film #Movie #rip #Bluray #MKV #MakeMKV #Handbrake
Do not use AV1 or at least don’t use it as of now as it isn’t supported my most devices. I think there is exactly one phone that supports it as of now

I know the nVidia Shield doesn’t have it, and I’m not replacing that any time soon.
What do you mean by “safe media”?
Where I don’t have to throw my PC out afterwards due to virus and malware.

It’s worth mentioning that the biggest concern, depending on your country, is getting in trouble with your ISP. That’s where a VPN comes to play.
Only if you torrent. Newsgroups still work wonders!
