What are the 3 biggest shortcomings of Jellyfin ?
Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoSeems unlikely that this happened. Most people on Lemmy despise Plex and forgive all the shortcomings of Jellyfin

Well it’s just generally buggy firstly. Glitchy UI for me especially for hours after I started scanning my media library.
Also it has no built-in system for connecting from somewhere outside your home. You have to manage that yourself.
Then there’s the fact that it’s got lots of security issues.

What do you mean with glitching UI ? Is it more than just not responding while scanning ?
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I left the scan running for an hour or so, came back and it showed, maybe all, of my shows and seasons. However, on certain views, it would not list episodes that definitely exist. The page looked kind of broken. I thought “okay I’ll give it more time”. An hour or two later, same deal. Cleared browser cache multiple times. Nothing worked. Came back the next day and it was “fixed”. But that experience felt pretty janky.

So you didn’t care, just wanted to downvote. Cool.

I haven’t installed jellyfin, I’m never installing plex, I would just use samba shares over vpn instead of that.
I wanted to know what’s the problem with jellyfin ?
Is it more than the weekend-destroying linux-jankiness ?
Because I can deal with thatTrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I listed three things. I didn’t have the patience to suss out what might be wrong with it because Plex required no fiddling and afaik does not have any open security issues.

Ironically, security.
