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.

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

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:

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.

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

You can load your existing plex library into Jellyfin

Closest I could find to a non-reddit link

Does Jellyfin support skip-intro and skip-credits?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
