People still use plex?

Jellyfin has been very slow for me and buggy especially when it comes to UI and if you try anything fancy like the sync play stuff. I tried it again not long ago and it just pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong as a free offering it's fantastic but I paid for a lifetime sub for Plex years ago, this just works.

I have literally none of those issues and I’ve run it on Ryzen desktops and pi’s. It’s fast and light and zippy. There something wrong with your setup.

Yea man sure, apples to apples ran it on the same hardware as Plex, yet Plex doesn't have any issues with playback or slowness.

This does not disprove my point.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I do. It works well enough and my grandmother doesn't have to configure Tailscale. Would I buy a lifetime pass today? Hell no. But I got in early, so why not?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Next step will be to turn every lifetime pass into a 20 year pass or smth.

Then I still have 10 years in mine, maybe Jellyfin can manage to catch up to Plex in that time

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Yes millions

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. I prefer Jellyfin, but I have three friends with media servers and Plex is the only way to easily connect to all of them at the same time.

I wish Jellyfin had a federation feature.

WireGuard. Done.

Good luck installing Wireguard on my mom's LG webOS TV.

Point the tv to a pi acting as a WireGuard proxy. It’s not hard.
