      Jellyfins pretty great. It’s much simpler than Plex and has quite a few less features, but it does what it does really well

          Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.

          Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.

          Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).

            Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool

            I’ll probably keep both installed

              They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.

              I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.

              Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 but only.

              I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.

          Whilst some might not find it a huge deal, not being able to shuffle all episodes of a specific TV show is a deal breaker for me. I do have Jellyfin deployed and configured, ready to go for when the feature arrives. Plex feels a lot more polished as well, but I can get over that.

        Sadly in the 4 years I’m using it jellyfin still couldn’t figure out how to correctly display series season covers and has some streaming bugs (no audio when audio is DTS and PGS subs are enabled ect)

          You should redo your org from scratch and let all the default plugins do the work. Mine looks great and I never changed anything, just followed the recommended file org pattern for Movies and TV Shows.

            Exactly. 99% of these issues are not naming the files as Jellyfin needs, which I understand can be annoying if you have a large number of files to move to it. And having the right access permissions for files, if you are on Linux.

              Filebot is nice for that, it is what I used when I first got into Plex and realized the reason I had so many problems is because of the way I named files. This was before I even knew Sonarr and Radarr existed, now you can get them to do it.

        Agreed, but we probably all knew it had to decline at some point. Nothing is really free.

        I’m just glad I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth. Feb 2014 is when I got it. So 10 years, 75$. I cant complain 😂

            It’s in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.

            It will become like any other shitty streaming service eventually.

              And? As long as I can watch my content, why should I care? It’s a business with employees and they need to make money somehow.

                If you cannot comprehend why people are outraged at a product they used getting degraded, not sure what to tell you.

                  It still does what it did when I started using it. What’s the problem?

      Not until it’s a mandatory popup or recommendation any time you want to watch. Or maybe mandatory ads and popups on “new releases”. With Plex, nothing surprises me now.
