I was a long time pirate back in the day, and thinking of sailing once again. However all my old booty spots are gone. What is Jellyfin?
A great UI to stream your movie files from your TV. A bit like Plex, but open source.
Tbh JF is faaaaaaaar from a 'great UI', it suffers from the 'open source design' of developers who have no idea how to design a good UI as the designers for the UI. I shouldn't need to click vaguely in the direction of where I think the X (close) button is to make it appear in the first place. The settings for a user should be in the same location as the admin settings. The main screen shouldn't look like it came straight out of 2000, it should have the categories all visible by default, it should be easier to setup https (plex was WAY easier in this regard), ota channel guides shouldn't be outsourced to a paid project, there is no built-in import/export (I recently moved to a docker image and found that out, yay)...
It 'works', but fuck me it's so rough around the edges that it draws blood. Plex has issues (downloading content from a server is wonky, metadata can grab the wrong movies, paid sub/lifetime etc) but it's so, so, so much closer to what an all-in-one media platform should be, imo.
I'm not arguing that any of your complaints are invalid. I just want to say that I use jellyfin to organize my movies and TV shows and access them from other computers on my home network. It works, is easy, was free. I like it.
Yeah, there's a reason I keep it installed and at the ready, but it's just less user-friendly and that is essential when my users aren't tech savvy, they just want things to 'work'. If JF reaches feature parity I'll migrate my users, but I can't be asked to explain why they need to pay a monthly fee for ota guides or why everything looks different, if I also need to explain that features are missing and why can't I move their watch history. It's got to be easy for them, but also for me too.
