That controller looks like it spend 30 years in a chain smokers apartment

How about you don’t go saturating some poor sods public WiFi that he is kind enough to provide to his customers? Cheapskate

Lol, that Jellyfin needs a 3rd party plugin for intro detection says a lot about the maturity of the project. Also, there are other Frontends for plex

I have a Jellyfin instance running in parallel to check out its progress, but its just not there yet for me.

What do you mean with extensible? The plugin ‘shop’?

developers are a “resource” and they need to be paid. Do you want to keep getting updates for your server? Someone needs to do that and that someone wants to be paid in this case

Should have clarified. It’s not an option if you want to use it to get content that is not in english. For german content for example, you need access to german private trackers which you only get with a good torrenting record in addition to catching the exceedingly rare opportunities to get an invite.

And if you buy the lifetime now, you might actually get it on sale. Just create an account and wait a few days, usually you get a sale offer

Client Support is way better, Hardware transcoding is more reliable and easier to set up (as in you don’t have to in Plex), UI/UX is better (if you can live with removing Plex’ stuff once from your homescreen), that also means the settings, which I find convoluted in Jellyfin. The media matching is way worse and I won’t go through thousands of folder to rename them just because Jellyfin only accepts one singular way to name things

Not an option everywhere outside the states. I mostly have to do that by hand

Their revenue stream is based on license fees for the software? So if they want to keep the lights on they need money

Dito. Every discussion I’ve seen, people were acting like Plex is already dead. This will basically change nothing for most people

Sony is AndroidTV, so just install Plex from Playstore? Or Jellyfin if you meant that

Dito. The price increase for lifetime is hard and surely made so to push people into the recurring instead. But as a Plex Pass holder this won’t drive me to Jellyfin

I think most people that host a server already had the lifetime license so this won’t affect them

Ah, sry. Thought you were the guy who thought this was the doom of indie game Deva or something

Again, I don’t know your upload speed, but the usual private household has around 30-40Mbit, which is not nearly enough to transfer large games quickly. It would probably be quicker to driver over to your house with a thumb drive and get the games that way

This is not ment as a Plex for Games, since you can’t stream the content and most people won’t bother downloading dozens of gigabytes from a private households upload speed. It’s just a neat way to organize your DRM free games so that you and people in your local network can install and manage them easier

You don’t really need much documentation. You set it up on windows once, which is pretty intuitive and then you copy the config to your server and run it headless. It pulls your library in fixed intervals. I haven’t touched it once in the year it is running now

Shoutout to Libation, that allows you to download and deDRM your Audible library.

From personal experience, Docker is fine. Just be sure to use postgres instead of the default mariadb and you’re golden
