Mapping the Media Drive

About the Media Drive

This is a 6TB drive for shared media storage and playback, it has allowed us to share our media collections in one convenient location.

You can only access this drive while you are on the home networ, but the drive is fast enough that you can play videos and audio directly off of it.

We have also set up Jellyfin, so you can access the media library from anywhere with an Internet connection. This is available at https://media.kaisev.net. I can't promise smooth playback when you are on other networks. Ask or email me for login information.
