Did you mean Jellyfin?
I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.
Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.
So Jellyfin... How hard is it to migrate from Plex?
What about it? Genuinely... I've been using Rokus longer than Plex, what's the issue with the Roku version?
It took me just a few minutes to set up. 4 folders, TV, Videos, Movies, Music
It would take me more than a few minutes to set up remote access VPN-less, Arr stack and Riven/Zurg to it...
But hey, as a Plex Pass lifetime user Jellyfin still looks like a good second option.
Sorry, did you mean a lifetime membership to Jellyfin? Because I don't think there is such a thing...
The lifetime membership to Jellyfin is on Github in the form of a GPL license and the source code. I've got a lifetime membership to Jellyfin and it didn't cost me a dime.
I didn't have to pay for Jellyfin, I think you got scammed.
Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I've used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it's very useful for sharing content I don't want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn't have the polish that Plex has. There's definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.
Jellyfin is also not an option if you want a secure way to share content with your family/friends without forcing them to install a VPN on each and every client they want to use. I could open the Plex port in my router and put it behind a reverse proxy, since the Plex frontend is actually secured unlike Jellyfin
Lemmy is obsessed with (F)OSS. But strangely when it comes to Plex/Jellyfin it's not as important due to financial decisions from years ago.
And users here are usually *But my Plex :c"
Erst vor kurzem gewechselt. Geht schon gut, diese Geleefloße
Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.
Besides, I don't think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc
