Well I already have jellyfin running in a container, just have to figure out how to get mum's TV to work with it I guess
log in on a local IP and not the network name and it's working again. but I'll be moving to jellyfin from now
I agree, streaming on local network should be free, what is.
I had other reasons too, so a while back I tried other self hosted solutions and I got back to Plex, it is more polished and a cleaner user experience. I'm happy to pay for a well written software as long as it is reasonable and not too greedy.
Should have got the lifetime! The jellyfish UI is garbage without a mouse and keyboard BTW. Make sure to get that set up as well.
No you're doing it wrong! This is a Plex bash thread! Angry face!
I mean it's a mouse cursor, it's not exactly a secret, just a limitation for a small project. I thought most here knew that lol.
Stockholm syndrome is a mental illness, we are glad to help you out of your hostage situation with Plex.
Asking for help is the first step. This second step is to install Jellyfin.
Dude(ette), I have nothing to do with this self hosting thing and even I knew years ago plex was shit. It's been extremely obvious just from browsing reddit (before leaving) and lemmy. I don't know anything about any of this other than plex having an extremely bad reputation. How did you manage to become part of this and still chose to use it?
