  • Plex or Jellyfin for my Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • The networking aspect is basically the only thing stopping me from switching from Plex to Jellyfin. I got Jellyfin running and accessing my server myself, while on my home network is easy. However, when it comes to accessing outside of my network, it gets complicated, and when it comes to other people accessing my server it gets more complicated, and then accessing my own server and friends' servers it gets even more complicated.

    With Plex, all of that is super easy. I can watch stuff from my own server and my friends' servers on any device, including a web browser, and I can tell my mom, for example, "install Plex on your Roku and tell me what email address you use to log in" and boom, she has access to my library.

  • I've definitely hired a plumber without using Meta

  • And you also need a public domain. So I have to register, pay for, and configure that as well.

    Recognize that we're on like step 7 of "just use Jellyfin instead of Plex"

  • Until you try to share your library with someone and have to parse terms like reverse proxy or figure out how your mom can install a vpn on her Roku

  • So then do that

  • Why can't the extenders pass along the same data the original cord is sending?

  • Proton is vibe coding some of its apps.

  • VS Code also has AI features. Would you be telling people to not use other suites if they were being developed in VS Code? Why should they be forced to use an IDE that explicitly excludes AI?

  • How can I download this audio file?

    Jump

  • Thanks for helping me get this far but now I'm stuck. Neither yt-dlp nor pasting the url into the browser works. The latter gets me the image below, yt-dlp says it's not a valid url

    Edit: I got it to work with yt-dlp. I forgot the quotes around the url

  • I make the account for them. Then I log in as them and set it up so they only see my server. Then I send them the credentials and have them login

  • Does it work on a smart tv or roku or whatever?

  • Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom "install this app on your tv and log in", which is exactly what Plex does.

    I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.

  • When will you "quit" the internet?

    Jump

  • No only is quitting not an option but people who don't have access to broadband Internet at home or a smart phone or unlimited data are increasingly marginalized.

    Jump

  • What about a folder?

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Dude how the hell am I supposed to walk my mom through setting up tailscale on her Roku?

    And what if you have multiple friends all sharing each others libraries?

    This is not a feasible solution let alone a "very easy" one.

  • Please seed !! Public torrents need your help

    Jump

  • Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

    Effect. Cause.

  • What is Docker?

  • But why can I "just install a program" on my windows machine or on my phone and it is that easy?
