Good explanation. I'm out in the boonies with Starlink for internet right now so no port forwarding for me. I paid like $100 for a plex lifetime pass 12 years ago or something so none of my family or friends even notice most of the time. HEVC encoding helps too (you can squeeze 720p through their relay server with it).

They've added commercial supported live channels like many other free services but yeah, it's lacking compared to others. Pluto.tv is my go-to if I want to throw something on at a family members house or something like that. Owned by the networks, reasonably short ads, completely free. Too bad they didn't figure that out 10 years ago lol.

Having to set up a reverse proxy is basically a non-starter for most people, while I've talked extremely non-technical people into running Plex since it just works out of the box.

Plex will do the exact same thing if you have an episode earlier in your history that didnt get marked as “watched”. But plex lets you manually tag episodes as watched which usually fixes it. Maybe there’s a similar option in jellyfin?

Plex is entirely free and completely local, but only if you don’t use the features that make it so convenient (the relay server they offer, authentication and authorization, etc). Things I’m pretty sure jellyfin doesn’t provide at all. If people spent half the time reading as they do trying to convince people to get angry at optional features then maybe we wouldn’t have so many posts like this.

Are you runnin multiple subnets? If so you need to enable them all as local nets in plex or else it’ll trigger this.

My banking apps, I don't feel comfortable spending money when I can't see my accounts in real time. Had a bad experience with BoA when I was younger.

Charlie Kirk is dead. Oh well.

Shit. I'm glad I've been babying my asus bw-16d1ht with libredrive mode enabled. You know, for backing up my home movies.

I know this is sort of still doable with aliexpress kits, but I miss the days of being able to make "weird" builds. My first build was an Athlon XP-M 2500+. It was a mobile chip that was just a binned desktop chip. It used the same socket as desktop, had no IHS, and ran at a "lower voltage" thanks to the binning. Overclockers DREAM in back in like 2005.
