  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • didn’t have to

    Now you do have to, unless you pay for Plex and its convenience.

  • You need to properly name your media with a proper scheme (including tmdbid/imdbid).

  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Yes, after I set up the server properly (reverse proxy). With this change the same setup on the server side is necessary for remote streaming with free Plex.

    My mum puts in the domain, username and password and starts streaming.

  • I don't think Jellyfins focus is currently to support irregular naming schemes. Naming media correctly with a proper scheme is the way to go.

    Just so you know I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • Yes. There's AudioBookShelf for audio books.

  • Roku is also a thing in Europe.

    Though I also gave up trying to set up Tailscale for people and just exposed Jellyfin (behind a reverse proxy).

  • "Good luck setting up remote streaming with free Plex."

    Yes, Jellyfin does not forward ports for you. Same as free Plex. With this change both are the same difficulty to set up for free, the only difference is with Plex there's a shortcut: Buy Plex.

    Jump

  • Jellyfin does not host anything. With this change free Plex users behind a reverse proxy (or VPN) and Jellyfin users behind a reverse proxy (or VPN) work the same for remote access.

    The only difference is that Plex no longer provides expensive services for free, while Jellyfin never provided them.

  • Plex is now enforcing remote play restrictions on TVs

    Jump

  • Yes, but you should use a reverse proxy for anything open to the internet. If you use a reverse proxy (without passing X-Forwarded-...), Plex and Jellyfin should have feature parity with this change.

  • Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled

    Jump

  • Roku is really simple and locked down. There's ads on one side but nothing else. My 80yo grandma uses it.

    Otherwise Projectivy is an Android TV launcher that can be configured to be really stripped down. It takes a bit of time but if you do it right it'd show less options than even Roku (it'd show only the apps you select, no launcher settings etc).

    As a box I've heard good things about Onn (Walmart) if your in the US. If not, Homatics is great but pricey. Kick Pi KP1 is more affordable (but still way more expensive than Onn).

  • Mihon, an aggregated manga reading app, issues a troubling warning they might shut down due to imitators that uses old Tachiyomi name

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.

    In my opinion they should be safe legally because extensions are developed and distributed separately.

    But I don't think companies like Kakao care for that. If they DMCA (or sue) Mihon devs, they'd have to de-anonymize themselves to properly fight the claim. If not, at least their website or source code repo could get taken down. If they've used Discord or a similar platform, chats could be used to identify them.

    Ryujinx, a Nintendo Switch emulator, stopped development a year or so ago. As far as we know, it was developed cleanly without doing anything illegal. But Nintendo somehow found the developer (in Brazil I believe) and threatened them so they folded. Nintendo didn't even need to sue them.

    Jump

  • It's not even piracy. The license permits redistribution and profiting of it.

    The issue is that this increases the risk of Mihon getting shut down. Mihon devs don't make any money. Nobody profits of those downstream developers using the name of the original project to make money besides them. It'll just result in Mihon ceasing to exist.

    Jump

  • Better back up your list somehow in case they go down.

    Given the list is local Mihon would continue to work for the foreseeable future. The first thing to break are the extensions which doesn't impact exporting the reading list.

  • Mihon, an aggregated manga reading app, issues a troubling warning they might shut down due to imitators that uses old Tachiyomi name

    Jump

  • If an entity makes money using a name similar to Mihon, rightsholders like Kakao are more likely to issue a cease and desist.

    Kakao likely doesn't care to differentiate between the original developers who don't make any money and the other entity using a similar name. They might even think both projects are from the same people. Thus the downstream making money threatens the existence of the original project.

  • Jellyfin: why is the line two different colors?

    Jump

  • This. The blue line is the watched progress and the orange line is the transcoding progress.

  • Jellyfin 10.11.0 RC9

    Jump

  • Unless the media also uses HDR in which case the server will still be required to transcode.

  • Are there any good places to torrent music with consistent quality and tagging?

    Jump

  • OpPS does not do interviews atm, so I'd recommend interviewing for RED.

  • Any way to defeat HDCP for Chromecast recording?

    Jump

  • Yes. Some cracks don't replace the call to a server entirely, and instead use a local server to return the expected response. In this case, the DRM would run normally, except for it not contacting the offcial remote server.

    Obviously if a crack removes a DRM completely, there might be a performance advantage. It depends on several factors.
