Well I already have jellyfin running in a container, just have to figure out how to get mum’s TV to work with it I guess

<edit> log in on a local IP and not the network name and it’s working again. but I’ll be moving to jellyfin from now

    I jumped ship early on. They didn’t include skipping intros (or removed the plugin or the capability to use plugins, I don’t remember).

    Went to Jellyfin, took like 2 hours to figure out what’s different. I don’t even remember, are there any features worth it staying on Plex? At least I’m not missing anything.

    Also for watch together you start a watch group and can watch a show episode for episode. Instead of having to open each episode separately and having everyone join again (but maybe Plex fixed this already, I wouldn’t know).

      my main issues

      • jellyfin has known security vulnerabilities and shouldn’t be run on a public network. that means everyone using your server remotely needs to be on a VPN… and then you may as well use plex because it’s “local” so the remote streaming thing doesn’t apply
      • swiftfin (which i need for apple tv) doesn’t support media segments

          Same, I think deals on the lifetime pass still show up periodically, but I got it when it was about $40 too. It’s good software I use daily, so I’m happy with it.

          Looks like on the last deal it was $120

          Currently it is $250, which is too rich for my blood. Then again I just paid $70 for Doom the dark ages

        That’s how you know it’s valueable! I don’t want some crappy product they give away for free. \s
