But they are not a passenger. They wouldn't lie to an app.

I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it's better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don't see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it's Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

I'm not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don't show up despite being selected. I guess I'm really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

Both will happen.

🤞. Hopefully it's just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don't want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I'll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can't switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There's a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It's annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don't want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there's no point in switching. At this point I'll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

I'm starting to suspect that some people can actually read and finish books.

Then just assume that video that hasn't been interacted with is 3 stars, same result. I could see there being an additional like above regular one, like love our something. But YT now kinda has the hype feature which I suppose does a similar job.

I'm pretty sure that 99% of the time 1 and 5 stars options were used, so like/dislike is enough. There isn't much point in including a "I have no strong feelings one way or another" button.

Pro tip: square it to have real sex. But keep in mind that you might get negative sex.

P.S. I also like the implication that people have favorite beers for non-drinking purposes.
