lol "Selfhosted" my ass - that's why FOSS is superior regardless of features.
Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!
Not really. I bought Plex for $100 13 years ago.
Do you know how much time that saved vs fucking around with xbmc trying to get plugin to work and the media scanner to be consistent?
It was worth every penny and saved me hundreds of hours fucking around with libraries to scan in anime because it doesn't follow the proper s01e01 format.
Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?
Oh, and was that software available in 2013? No? Right, you are just throwing shit against the wall because someone pointed out that Plex was the best software we had, for a reasonable price, for 10 years or so.
You're the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn't mentioned explicitly but I meant it
Here I am thinking always means past, present, and future. What a fucking idiot I am 🤦♂️.
Hey man why the rudeness? We're just trying to have a conversation ..
I think that person is a troll. I’ve seen him post inflammatory shit elsewhere.
Jellyfish is a much better option now, by far. It it’s not a decade ago right now so I’m not sure why he’s so hung up on that?
Edit: yeah look at his stats hahaha. He’s also replying with an alt account
Either a troll or a just man child
Jellyfin wasn't even around when I bought Plex. I don't even think emby was and if it was it was nowhere near as good. So yes Plex has served me well over the years. I am worried about it's future so have jellyfin all set up in parallel but it still has some show stopper bugs for me to totally migrate over.
You are so eager to be on The Right Team you didn't even read the comment before replying
My dude if it’s taking hundreds of hours to get Kodi set up for you that’s a you problem. I’ve paid 0$ for Kodi XBMC or jellyfin over the past forever.
Lolol you clearly have no idea how bad xbmc was 13 years ago.
Yeah no. I’ve been installing Kodi since it was XBMC and you needed to break out 007 Nightfire to softmod the original Xbox. Working XBMC /Kodi has been easy from the start. It’s practically unchanged UX since those early days.
The two people who replied to you are the same person hahaha. Sad.
👌👍🤣
Xbmc plugins were garbage and the media scanner was garbage. You people are just forgetting how bad xbmc was, especially if you had it set up with something like sabnbdz which regularly would screw up wherever regex matching they were doing.
