It’s not better than Plex though, but it is free

Re: Jellyfin: Free software media system
#132I've been happily using jellyfin for awhile now. Overall it works great. It has a few issues that I would like to see implemented/fixed: - No offline downloading on iPad - The official Apple TV app logs me out of my server every day - Using the native player on the Apple TV app is still experimental and can have issues - No intro skip
Also I think there's still no tone mapping, meaning watching HDR content can look washed out on incompatible devices, or those transcoding.
There's hardware accelerated tone-mapping [0], does that work for you?

#134My mother is able to send a telegram bot youtube URLs. She sends links to audiobooks, yt-dlp extracts audio and saves it in an incoming folder and shes able to listen/download it via jellyfin. Works really well.
Is there source code for this?

Some may prefer Overseerr to Ombi.
Indeed there are probably multiple paths to the full win. I like to use airsonic-advanced to feed music to my legacy sonos systems (can somebody please make an easy to use, pretty opensource alternative to the sonos multiroom software stack that can output to hifiberry's or ideally a cheaper alternative? even better would be an included best at each price level alternative speaker to double sided tape the hifiberry t…

I’d be interested to know what you find terrible about the PLEX UX. I’ve been a happy user for years and have found the user interface to be reasonably intuitive. Perhaps dense in places, but certainly not terrible in my opinion.
I don't know how to navigate Plex anymore. I used to use it roughly 8 years ago, and it was simple - it showed me my media, I could navigate through it, watch it, and nothing more. I tried using it again 2 years ago - and I simply couldn't find my media anymore. I logged in with my account, and the settings showed me that it was connected to my server, but it showed me a bunch of random media that I did not add to my…
When you’re setting up a new server, it shows you a bunch of default Libraries for their own media. Unselecting them then should remove them from your list. You can also edit your Libraries list later. Managing Libraries is a pretty import part of Plex UI (and Jellyfin for that matter)
If you don’t know which library on the list to click on or drag around, maybe you’ll have a hard time in general.

There is a introskip plugin for jellyfin it's in beta and does not work with all clients yet but it very good at intro detecting for most of my shows. Most of the client app developers have added support for the plugin apart for some that say the plugin is not official they will not add the intro skip button until it is officially accepted in jellyfin.

#140Have been using Jellyfin on my synology server for the past 2 years. It's a dream, but you do need to name your files/directories per their naming convention: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/ -- https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/
I’ve been using it for a year. I don’t name anything in a special way, and it just works.
