Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly (www.pcgamer.com)

This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It's been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying victims customers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.

    Problem is jellyfin doesn’t have apps on stuff, therefore my family can’t reach the content on their TVs without side loading and that’s so far beyond any of them it isn’t even funny

    What devices are missing support in your case? Not an exhaustive list of clients

    To be fair, an app for Samsung TVs would be great. Currently you need a complicated work around to get it working.

    This Samsung app is the one thing I need to actually switch my family over to jellyfin.

    I could do the workaround for myself, but I'm not doing it for others.

    So for now I'm the only jellyfin user

    An Xbox app that isn't just the web UI. Plex has a damn good Xbox app.

    Damn good, is an understatement. The only app I found better than the Xbox app is using Kodi Plex Plug In, but the HDR is non-existent on that, so it's worthless to me.

    What does Kodi do better?

    I don't think the anime titles are bothering as many people as the unintentional exposure of their pornography.

    I do too much curating to have my lists leaked. If you want access to my excellent tastes, I require payment in advance.

    Sorry, I searched for Plex plus your username, you're already compromised:

    Every time one of you says this I can only imagine you’re into the most degenerate shit on earth. Like Christopher Walken in fursona shitting on Peter Dinklage while Megan Thee Stallion flicks bean in the corner

    My tastes run deeper than skin and excretions. Only tainted minds can even discern where the sensuality begins and ends, the flickering myriad coaxing froth only from souls who peered long into the abyss. The decadent ecstasy afforded to we few is as delicious as it is unknowable. Do not search, do not query, if one is worthy then it will seek you out.

    Does Jellyfin support skip-intro and skip-credits?

    Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can't compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I've had Plex deployed.

    But afaik it only works in the browser, not on mobile apps unless that changed in the last few months.

    Ah you're probably right about the mobile clients. I'm not a mobile watcher really. I can say though that the jellyfin desktop app and jellyfin mpv shim both have skip-intro integration, though I've only tested it with jellyfin MPV shim.
