Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
Interesting, again at least in the android/web/Linux client ecosystem I’ve not experienced any of those issues, and Jellyfin has caused me less family tech support issues than Plex or Emby. I guess it all depends on the platform, and how much outside of just media consumption you’re wanting your server to do.
Thanks for the follow up.
Ah, “standards”, you got to love them. I was also thinking in terms of using Chromecasting" and not the use of the physical Chromecast device. Thanks for the follow up.
You made some outlandish claims and then refused to back them up. Either you’re talking out of your ass or you’re a bot, which is it?
I have a Lifetime license to Plex, so I have used it, and oddly they do not have your exact requirements listed on the site that I can find. Can you link me, as Google is coming up blank also.
The Android version at least has Chromecast support, not sure on other platforms.
So the server part runs worse from your NAS? That seems odd but I have never run either from a NAS so no idea how to help. =(
What features specifically?
Not asking this to be combative, but as Jellyfin convert I’m curious what quality/features you are missing? Also what platform are you using mainly?
I watch mostly using the Android app or Nvidia Shield, and the client does everything Plex did (in terms of just media watching - no DVR or other features ) without all the bloat the current Plex client brings.
What type of device is the Xbox or PS5 hooked up to? If a TV (“smart TV”) then there is a client for both Roku and Android TV. If they are using a monitor, could they use the web client? Or could they use the web client on either console (I never had an Xbox, and only PS was PS1 so I honestly have no idea)?
I’ve only used the Android/Android TV/web client versions from the Jellyfin team, but all seemed solid these days. On Linux I’ve also used a number of 3rd party clients, and there are plenty of 3rd party clients for most non-console platforms.
Twitter was already really bad, Musk just brought back the Nazis and fired all the people that were the guardrails.
It depends on who is interpreting the DMCA really.
It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.
I think the transcode part is decided by the client, but in the Jellyfin server admin you can control if a client can request a transcode (which may not be actually needed - and if you know what client they are running it’s probably easier to decide). This could just be client setting though, because I know on Jellyfin you can change the “backend” in the client that it tries to use and can make the difference on things like x265/HVEC playing back or not.
