Thanks, I wasn't actually wanting help today.

Has better clients, looks better, better features. Jellyfin isn't always the answer. Maybe if someone releases a apple TV app that is better then meh, I will spin my jellyfin server backup . permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 months ago* (2 children) Yea, Jellyfin is far from perfect, and it's what I use. It's a bit more work than it should be, like it loves to identify stuff as Asian if it doesn't have a perfect match, sometimes with folders properly structured with year and IMDB ID. I'm constantly having to fix metadata or even remove a specific movie, rescan, return the movie folder, rescan, and then it sees it right. I've had to blow away my entire Jellyfin database multiple times this year because it just loses it's mind and won't properly identify something. It's what I use, that doesn't mean it's perfect, but it is an incredible value, and it doesn't phone home or any other nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago I haven't once had to reset metadata or my database in the 2 years now I've been running jellyfin, UNLESS the physical file changes. Lately I've been going through and transcoding all my media to HEVC mkvs (compatability reasons) including renaming all of them to a standard naming convention and only a small handful had to be manually fixed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago but it is an incredible value, and it doesn't phone home or any other nonsense. This right here.

Jellyfin as far as I know has no way to share libraries across multiple accounts and locations. It’s nice being on a trip in Costa Rica and being able to access my content abroad or my friends that are abroad permalink fedilink source parent [–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 months ago For me I use Emby, not only because I found it first, but I can't justify switching to Jellyfin because the UI is just too old-looking. I prefer curves permalink fedilink source parent
