This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
ITT: I use ~~Arch~~ Jellyfin btw.
Every single Plex thread has the same annoying smug commentary from Jellyfin users.
Interesting shift. It’s usually the plex users who are smug.
Heavily disagree. Plex users are more absent minded and don’t really care as long as it works, that’s why they’re still on Plex lol
If you don’t open the article, the exploit was patched and plex sent out emails on September 1st saying to update as a heads up.
Glad I moved to Jellyfin for unrelated reasons. (Plex don't give a shit about their users, was my main gripe. Well, byyye 👋)
Plex enshittified too much to be useable, I ended switching to jellyfin too last year
Welcome to the family, pal
Surely a me thing, but twice I've installed Jellyfin but couldn't get my pc to see folders on the server, when trying to use my pc as the server for my content (only local viewing from my pc).
If I could work out how, I'd have switched.
Surely a permissions issue?
I'll have another crack at it, it could be, but I'm also wondering if it's a firewall thing somehow. Or perhaps my specific router (it's a pretty good one, but perhaps it's a specific model issue).
I will do some more forum searching and try to get to the bottom of it. Tbh, Plex has done everything that I've asked of it, partly why I've just used that for the time being, but I would like to get Jellyfin up and running. Cheers.
If you are opening Jellyfin on the same PC as the Jellyfin server is running and you can't see the media, that couldn't be the router, I don't think. The traffic wouldn't even go through the router in that case, right? (localhost)
Yes, I agree. From memory, I could see the files and watch movies from the pc that the server was installed on, the first time.
I can't recall if I could, the second time, but probably. I certainly couldn't see the movies, from the Nvidia Shield Pro, but it was possibly a router issue, not sure.
As soon as dolby vision is fixed in jellyfin for android tv I'll switch
I don't have any issues with DV on android TV with jellyfin ? What do you encounter ??
Jellyfin just won't play dolby vision 4k Blu-ray rips and falls back to hdr, a fix is in beta last i checked
after upgrading and doing the key rotations and such - i also turned off remote access. except now my rokus, on local lan, cannot access my plex svr.
seem to be getting pointed in the direction that i need plex pass for this? or to allow ips / mask to have login unauth…
freaking odd.
now turning remote back on doesn’t stick. that’s a plex pass thing? remote access?
i might try jellyfin just because of plex annoyances.
The fragility of local streaming without internet, even with a lifetime pass, is why I left Plex.
