Plex user for over a decade and my only gripe is lack of accounts when internet goes out. When I'm self hosting, I kind of consider it a baseline for something like authentication to a local self hosted server to work without an internet connection.
Also the "recommended" bullshit. What the fuck. I know hat I'm hosting. I know what I download. Why does plex feel the need to force this as the default landing page? Honestly I with jellyfin was a bit more mature cause I'd use that instead.
@cyberpunk007 @dinckelman
Out of curiosity, what features are you missing from #jellyfin?
Doesn't feel as polished, the music tagging was much worse, and the UI overall was not as good, as much as I hate the"recommend" section of plex.
Also I think there was something else. At the time I was running plex in freebsd and fin was only on Linux.
I have to admit, I really love the skip into feature on Plex. The fact that it runs locally and just analyzes audio for it is super cool for me.
It's above my knowledge to do it myself, but I'd love to see that implemented in jellyfin eventually.
@pyrodorobo @cyberpunk007 It's there as a plugin, but isn't as reliable as what Plex does (for my library at least).
The Android TV client also doesn't support showing the button, so you have to always have it automatically skip. ☹️
Oooh I might have to play around with it some more then. I have it running alongside Plex but haven't used it in a bit
