Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced

  For the love, as a Plex alternative, they don’t even have a native app on all major tv stores. It should be a P1 feature.

  Are you really bitching this hard about a completely free and open source project?

  It’s not technology or finances that kill most FOSS projects and burn out the devs. It’s this kind of shitty entitled unappreciative demanding attitude from users.

  As others have pointed out, there are fully functional and good quality frontends available, such as Swiftfin.

    I maintain open source projects too, and I fully understand the burnout, the pressure from supporters and such.
    What I was saying is they can do better from a project management perspective. Otherwise I love their work :3

    Swiftfin is buggy atm, like my other comment.

      Then you should know better than most that your wording and approach matters.

    For me the audio is desynced and subtitles are completely broken. :(

      Oh weird. I would guess a transcoding issue, maybe double check those settings to make sure you have the right config for your hardware.

      Theres also Infuse, its a video player that supports jellyfin, but I think some features are behind a premium purchase.

        Yeah. The entire jellyfin support is behind subscription.

  I haven’t used apple tv in a few years, but like, swiftfin worked just fine for me??

  I believe Infuse has Jellyfin support on Apple TV. But they want like £100 for a lifetime license or £2 a month / £13 a year.

    Yeaaaaaaaah, I mean it’s a good app, but I don’t know if it justifies a $100 license.
