Die Installation von #Jellyfin ist abgeschlossen. Doch wie synchronisiere ich nun meine Wiedergabestände aus #Plex? Ein kleiner Spoiler: Die Lösung heißt #WatchState. :awesome:

Which media server do you prefer?

#Plex #Jellyfin #media #server

Plex Media Server is not open source. It is a proprietary software that is developed, maintained and owned by Plex, Inc. While the Plex client software and Plex Home Theater (formerly Kodi) is considered open source, the server itself is not.

Can anyone explain why #Plex always seems to favour the posters with names all over them even when cleaner ones without names are earlier in the list of selectable posters? It's not a poster at the cinemas or on the street, I don't need actor names. I don't want actor names.

I removed #Plex Amp. Back to file sync!

Oh?. That's new

Thinking of moving back my #Plex server on #Linux, so I could put my Windows machine to sleep.

Plex works fine for me. Being a lifetime pass holder, I haven't had the need to concoct creative reasons to be outraged about it.

On the rare occasion I decide to actually fiddle with Jellyfin, it causes playback errors for anything currently being played in Plex. Half of my content doesn't even play in the Android TV client. And half of my family doesn't even have hardware that supports Jellyfin.

Maybe I would just decommission Jellyfin.

If you're considering #Plex as a #MediaServer I would advise you to avoid it like the plague, particularly if you're considering spending money on a subscription.

The recent "upgrade" was anything but an #upgrade, breaking numerous functions, seeing regression bugs, changes in functionality and compatibility for devices that were not previously announced, and seemingly no plan to resolve these issues once they presented themselves. With a huge influx of support issues on the forum and a significant amount of people reporting #CompleteFailure their response was not ownership or even acknowledgement and a pause of the rollout and/or roll-back to a working version was not even entertained. The only solution for many was to roll back to a previous version (if you could find the binaries) but then back end changes meant that subsequently #failed also leaving many with non-functional servers.

Support pages on their internet page are being edited or removed post-rollout to remove information about compatible hardware that no longer works after the update.

I would rank this rollout as one of the worst I have ever experienced and has cemented the fact that they do not care about #Support or good #Software distribution practices but instead will take your money and leave you with a completely unusable product and barely any support.

Late night session...

What with all the TV shows disappearing from TVDB lately? Sonarr is not happy about it. Specifically those upcoming "1942" & "6666" shows...

Or did that Taylor Sheridan guy do something to make the Internet mad?

I made new icons for . If one of those things is not like the other that’s because my sister is a fan and I felt I had to oblige.

Habe gerade zum Ersten Mal in 15 Jahren echte Probleme mit Plex. Meldung „Oh oh, Irgendwas stimmt nicht…“
Es sind meine lokalen Inhalte. Auf meinem Server. In meinem Netzwerk.
Vielleicht wird es Zeit, Plex durch Jeööyfin zu ersetzen. Eine benötigte Anmeldung ist einfach blöd. Lediglich das transkodieren ist unter Jellyfin irgendwie nicht so leicht einzurichten.
Ich mag Plex ja, aber so etwas darf nicht sein…

So I was just visiting the webpage for my service (getting turned off in the near future anyway) and got this popup. I clicked "I Do Not Agree". Let's see if they force me to shut it down early, 😛

A screenshot of a message from Plex that says, "For Plex accounts created before March 20, 2025, we require your consent to sell your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.  You can always adjust your share/sell preferences here."

Below that are two buttons labeled, "I Do Not Agree" and "I Agree".

My first streaming cover set is up! It's based on the Japanese theatrical posters and standard DVD series.
