[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 8 points 3 years ago (6 children) TIL about Jellyfin. Is it like Plex? Better? I assume it's solid since everyone knows about it? permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] Crow_of_Minerva@feddit.it 16 points 3 years ago* (2 children) It's plex but open source and without any sort of subscription. I have been using it for a couple of years and never had a problem permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] charred@beehaw.org 4 points 3 years ago* i never heard of it and have been using plex for years. i love that its open source. definitely checking it out. plex has been driving me nuts with all the extra crap theyve been adding. i just want my media permalink fedilink source parent [–] b_mcschmee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Does it work outside of the home network as well as plex does? Also, do you think it is worth switching if I already bought the lifetime plex pass? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Crow_of_Minerva@feddit.it 2 points 3 years ago It should work, but I use tailscale so I can't personally vouch for it. I don't think it differs that much from plex tho, so if you are fine with it and you have already the pass, you aren't losing out anything major permalink fedilink source parent [–] pgetsos@kbin.social 5 points 3 years ago Imho, it is better. Being free is an extra bonus permalink fedilink source parent [–] encode8062@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago Way better! permalink fedilink source parent [–] freeskier@centennialstate.social 2 points 3 years ago It's a Plex alternative, I don't know about better. IIRC it's a fork of Emby. I try both usually a couple times a year, but there's always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex. Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say "let's watch something on Jellyfin". permalink fedilink source parent [–] midas@ymmel.nl 2 points 3 years ago* (1 child) It's great software but for me it's missing at least 1 must-have feature, being intro detection & skipping. If you want to get into them you can run them both on the same library and just compare which you like best permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kuro@sha1.nl 3 points 3 years ago There is a plugin you can install for that, but it is a bit finicky: https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper permalink fedilink source parent [–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 1 point 3 years ago Like plex yes, better, well it depends. But I do use it for myself instead of plex permalink fedilink source parent
