An Intel CPU with quicksync is the better and way more energy efficient solution for transcoding. A regular 8th gen+ i7 can handle multiple 4k transcodes

They don’t. Ids in Jellyfin are based on the path of the file, so easily guessable with a sufficiently large rainbow table

As always, let’s keep this civil

Words never spoken in the IDF

No, I’m complaining about people who act like Jellyfin is a drop in replacement while ignoring everything that would make it harder to user than Plex. I like Jellyfin and I would like nothing better than to have it as my disposal should POlex actually turn evil one day. But the current state is just not feasible if you want a seamless transition.

I live in a country with a very active and litigious copyright lawyer scene, so I will not take the risk of my server exposing the contents of my library, even if that is a minor risk.

When I can run Jellyfin and expose it through a subdomain, I will. But the devs have made it clear that that won’t be anytime soon, since they would rather have an insecure app than break compatibility with clients

And if you can wipe the foam from your mouth for a second, you’ll notice I wrote ‘software’ not network.

But in the end all you’re here for is a pad on the back from the Jellyfin guys for “seeing the light”. So you do you and maybe I won’t have to read more of you Plex posts, since you’re now in happy Jellyfin land

But somehow it’s still Plex’s fault

And I would suggest learning how to configure your software before coming here and stirring shit. But we can’t always get what we want

So instead of a service that works, I now have:

• an inferior (and incomplete) client experience, unless I spend money
• an additional device to allow the client to connect to Jellyfin, because I can’t safely expose it to the internet
• the responsibility to keep all that additional stuff working for myself and everyone of my friends/family members

sounds like a great deal

It’s also always the Jellyfin fans that get emotional about this. Liking Plex is like a cardinal sin to them and I should be happy to migrate my entire viewership to a new solutions that requires them to install a vpn client on their device.

Every post I see here about Plex is some variation of Gotcha! or Schadenfreude where they expect everyone to say, “oh no, guess I’ll pack it up and start fresh”

security

If you don’t set it to host, the docker container is in a different ip range than your tv. That’s why it assumes it’s not in the same network (which it isn’t)

Sounds like a feature, not a bug

It does not, because demonetized content is also no longer pushed by the algorithm. Since the right wing stuff still gets pushed to the front page and recommendations, it probably did not get demonetized

I feel like the issue people her take with this is rather “great, even more Nazi content” than “I want censorship”. YouTube already has an issue with demonetizing content it deems risky for its ad business, like curse words or the mention of violence while allowing inflammatory content that drives engagement

Would love to as well, but my Grandmas don’t want to switch after finally learning how WhatsApp works

Facebook, Instagram or Yandex. Question is if any Meta App (eg WhatsApp) does the same

per month?

I have a Philipps OLED TV from 2019, with Android 9 or smth. But WebOS is a different beast.

Well, just because they closed the issue (without resolving it), doesn’t mean it does not speak to their views on security and client breaking changes

The issue is their approach to security. I don’t trust them to properly secure their software, since they have proven to prefer client compatibility over security.
