This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It's been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying ~~victims~~ customers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.

Smells like windows, Facebook, Google, ...

Good starters but today will just crush you to earn that Q3 +3%

I don't even have anything like Plex, but because of you I'll check out lemmyfin, I mean jellyfin.

Problem is jellyfin doesn’t have apps on stuff, therefore my family can’t reach the content on their TVs without side loading and that’s so far beyond any of them it isn’t even funny

To be fair, an app for Samsung TVs would be great. Currently you need a complicated work around to get it working.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

This Samsung app is the one thing I need to actually switch my family over to jellyfin.

I could do the workaround for myself, but I'm not doing it for others.

So for now I'm the only jellyfin user

An Xbox app that isn't just the web UI. Plex has a damn good Xbox app.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Damn good, is an understatement. The only app I found better than the Xbox app is using Kodi Plex Plug In, but the HDR is non-existent on that, so it's worthless to me.

This madlad made a chart comparing which files /codecs transcoded or Direct Played a few years ago. I finally found it again. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-nOzJkgEmo_wrU3zyUy21qW8vJ-Vo1j_z6GLhQBiTOQ/edit?usp=drivesdk Edit: That's an old one, there was one updated with the Series consoles, but I can't find it. The Series Plex update (which may work on the others as well) rarely transcode anyone.

I swear to Satan this is always the goddamn problem with everything that is cool and could potentially free us from our corporate overlords.

Can cast fairly well from the phone app or even the browser. Chrome cast is funky though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Enabling internet access is also a huge pain unless you're willing to raw dog the entire internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Also even common stuff like Chromecast-ing will randomly break on Jellyfin and nobody can explain why.

Which TV models?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

What "stuff" are you referring to? Has the webapp, Android, iOS, Firesticks, Roku. What are you trying to run it on? Even my SmartTV has it in thier native store.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna guess plugging in a roku is too much for them, too? When Arthur C Clarke said his magic quote I didn't expect that line to be drawn at shiny lights on a screen for most people.

I don't think the anime titles are bothering as many people as the unintentional exposure of their pornography.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I do too much curating to have my lists leaked. If you want access to my excellent tastes, I require payment in advance.

Sorry, I searched for Plex plus your username, you're already compromised:

Busty Babes 8: Even the boobs have boobs in this one.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s boobs all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Always has been

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I can't say I'm interested in paying for your attendance to my anime club. Our first rule is screw the money, we're pirates.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

This is what separates the casual weebs from the professional otakus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Every time one of you says this I can only imagine you’re into the most degenerate shit on earth. Like Christopher Walken in fursona shitting on Peter Dinklage while Megan Thee Stallion flicks bean in the corner

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My tastes run deeper than skin and excretions. Only tainted minds can even discern where the sensuality begins and ends, the flickering myriad coaxing froth only from souls who peered long into the abyss. The decadent ecstasy afforded to we few is as delicious as it is unknowable. Do not search, do not query, if one is worthy then it will seek you out.

Which one of the Cenobites are you?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I’ve held many names, but my most recent moniker is Hellman. Hellman’s mayonnaise.

Does Jellyfin support skip-intro and skip-credits?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can't compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I've had Plex deployed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But afaik it only works in the browser, not on mobile apps unless that changed in the last few months.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ah you're probably right about the mobile clients. I'm not a mobile watcher really. I can say though that the jellyfin desktop app and jellyfin mpv shim both have skip-intro integration, though I've only tested it with jellyfin MPV shim.
