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).

          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

      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

          there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication

          there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too
