Re: From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
#332These kind of threads always bring mostly negative comments out. So let me just add that I've been using Plex for years to play 4k HDR files for myself and transcoded versions for family and friends. And it works beautifully! No complaints really. There's clients for all devices family has, I have all my files, I can share to friends, etc... Yes, they've also added a new streaming service. I really don't see the issu…
The negative comments are well earned. Yours is misleading.
They have spent the last few years burying and neutering all of the features that you claim "work fine."

#333Re: From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
#334I’ve stopped using Plex-like stuff. I don’t really need it because transcoding isn’t as relevant as it was before. Pretty much every device I own can play h265 without CPU overhead. What I’m doing is basically a Samba file share + Infuse/Kodi. Thats it. You pretty much get the same results. Infuse can sync between devices using cloud sync and trackt, which can be used through a hide-my-mail account. Kodi can sync wat…
Adding Jellyfin to the mix was the best thing I’ve done for my Kodi setup. I agree re transcoding - overused these days - I keep all that disabled
Jellyfin-Kodi gives fast and automatic library updates - no waiting 5 minutes for ‘update library’ on large collections - new content appears automatically. Also some nice QoL improvements like synced progress, slightly better metadata fetching, automatic subtitle fetching
Re: From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
#335Plex lost their best users by missing the point of self hosting entirely. Nobody wants to deal with third party downtime, even if it is rare and intermittent. I think most products go through phases like this. Plex has some diehards that have stuck around (I think it's just buyers remorse for the Plex pass) but I think they are at a 5th or 6th tier of "customer" at this point, seeing the continuous churn spiral they…
I started using plex when my synology nas stopped supporting smb1 and Sonos doesn’t support anything newer. Do any of the competing solutions work with Sonos and have iOS and webOS (LG TV) apps?

It'll get worse and worse until you wish you left sooner. Hang in there. They'll cross your line eventually
Plex crossing some “line” doesn’t suddenly invalidate all the previous value one has gotten from it.
Of course not, and that wasn't the point. Did you think it was?
Re: From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
#337Plex is one of the reasons I now always choose open source over closed source but free as in beer. They start out great but as financial constraints creep in the compromises are made that create a very unpleasant experience. For example, I'd love to use Obsidian, which is an amazing app, but who knows what will happen to it in the future.

#338> "My media content had been pushed aside into a submenu while the app promotes its own streaming media and premium services instead." This is my biggest pet-peeve coming from Linux world. In Linux the music players you find bundled with different distros are simple, but they just work. However since moving to MacOS, I have to either use iTunes or Music, and in Android the default music player and the latest updates…

I'm not sure what you are referring to here.

This was not true in my experience. Sure it worked most of the time but I had tracks in my collection which were apparently incompatible with the Music.app and would not play. This led to me migrating to Plex about 4 years ago.

I had issues getting it to stream directly to my TV. It wasn't easy to find but what solved it for me was changing the DLNA profile settings like this example: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/issues/233
Does it do partial transcode? My TV doesn’t support DTS and Plex would transcode it to AC3 and remux with the original video stream before feeding it to my TV.
Sorry, no idea

#340My time in front of a TV screen is 10 minutes per year, basically the count down of new year at Times square that is. I use my computer(streaming services, e.g. prime video, netflix,etc) and youtube for entertainment needs. For big movies I went to theaters. From the comment here I realize there are still lots of TV watchers, even though TV is probably just acting as a big screen.
Watching Netflix, etc is watching TV. You should buy a TV. They’re cheap and great.
I had two TVs(47", not that large) for like 10 years, but rarely anyone in the house ever used them, everyone stares at their smaller screen these days somehow.
