Also making a comeback because of things like Elsagate and YouTube Kids’ weird algorithms. Parents need to have reliable kid-friendly media that they can put on, without constantly needing to monitor it… And a DVD box set of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood won’t end up showing your kid softcore fetish content disguised as children’s videos, as soon as you walk away from the screen to make dinner.
I run a small Plex/Jellyfin server, and have a library specifically for kids’ shows. And my users can lock their kids’ accounts down so they can only access that library. So my various friends and relatives can put something on via Plex, and trust that it will stay safe for their kids.
Not at all. One of my kids only likes to watch the same thing over and over and over. I think it must be comforting in the same way that we like to listen to the same music over and over; we recognize what comes next and there is a comfort in having that power.
Whatever i can get for cheap that’s not utter garbage. Usually that’s WD, I dont trust Seagate (yes, I had that 3TB drive. 5 of them to be specific).
And my enclosure of choice is whatever case will fit the shenanigans I want to put in, nothing specific. Well other than being rack mount or a case that fits neatly in my rack.

Watching media more than once? This kills the child!

I know. :) <3
What do you use for storage?
Personally I use NAS for a similar setup. Over 100TBs of storage, but kids movies (2.1TB) and TV (6.6TB) is just a small chunk of that.
What’s your drive of choice? And what enclosure do you like?
