I’m still riding Emby, but it feels like they’re also stagnating, with it taking forever(literal years) to implement some seemingly simple features. Too many times have I looked up some desired minor feature just to find out they said on the forums back in 2019 that they’re working on it. That pace might be forgivable if they were a non-profit open-source project, but they ditched open-source a while ago and have paying customers. It’s getting ridiculous.
Yeah for me at least there’s zero reason to use Emby. It’s the worst aspects of Jellyfin and Plex put in one. It’s less polished and user friendly than Plex while not being open source and quickly developing like Jellyfin.
How’s the android app and casting to Chromecast? If you know… I struggle the most with casting and controlling casted material as well as scrubbing while casting.
Thanks for the reply. I have used VLC forever and here and there for casting. Mostly it’s my parents using Plex that I’m trying to simplify for them. Not sure if jellyfin would help them lol
Yeah, just speculation on my part. Layoffs plus all the weird features they’ve been putting out lately. Better to have an alternative ready in case something happens.
Can someone convince me why jellyfin is better? Keep in mind I’m a lifetime plex pass user. And I have plex stuffed full of plugins like audnexus and YouTube metadata downloader so I can use plex as an audible service and repository for my favourite YouTube series’ or automatically pulling down YouTube podcasts and having all the metadata auto fill.
I also use the watch together feature to watch things with a friend often and an attractive sleek UI matters more than it should.
Plex & Sex > Netflix & Chill
Soon to be “Jellyfin & Get it in”
oouuuu maybe it’s time for me to decentralize everything.
what’s the difference between jelly and jam?
I can’t jelly my dick in her.
omg this caught me off guard
omg this got me off hard*
FTFY
Jellyfin is a 100% free and open source, but you can only stream stuff you already have downloaded, so you don’t get that love tv stuff on Plex
Personally I don’t use the love TV stuff, and I prefer jellyfin because it’s free and open source with no Plex pass bs
I run jellyfin on my Samsung tv app.

Because of the layoffs or did I miss something else?

Jellyfin to my iPhone, Roku, Fire sticks, and web are all awesome.
it’s not brilliant but then nothing really is. you just get used to it’s little quirks.
if you want something that just works use a UPnP media server with VLC

Same all movies and tv went to . Though still using plexamp for music.

I prefer to use foss on my servers, can’t trust proprietary stuff
Do you know if you can run it on a Fire Stick?
I have jellyfin on my firestick and fireTV. No sideloading required.
Nice, thanks.
You can
Anything that works on Android TV (also called Leanback) will also work on a Fire Stick.
good to know. ty
I have used the jellyfin app on the fire tv stick, its even on the store and works great!
Thank you for giving me a new line I can use to make my fiancée roll her eyes lol
How about “Kodi and fucking”?
Kodi and cuckold… Oh hang on
Joke’s on you. I am into that.
Kodi and kopulate

Kodi and coitus
Jellyfin and sin
Plexplay is my favorite fetish.
Plex is killing itself now, time to move on
