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

  That’s what I mean. You have to rename them. Plex handles this automatically, with the same shared library. I wish Jellyfin was better at this.

    Welll…They state in their docs how it should be.
    If you deviate from it, that’s on you.

    And yes it’d be nice if they did it automagically but we can’t have everything and I don’t expect it from them honestly as that is really a very niche requirement considering it already works.

      I don’t understand why we need to “pin it” on someone?

      I just works differently, I’m a way that requires more hands-on work, as opposed to no hands-on work. So it’s objectively worse. That’s on me?

      It being in the docs is irrelevant in this context. It could’ve been there or not. But the fact that I need to do extra work as opposed to not makes Plex more comfortable in this regard, and I don’t see how that’s up for debate.

      If Jellyfin had done it’s duplication check on identified movie IDs instead of filesystem names, we would be in a different situation. But they don’t, and here we are.

      I’m not ragging on Jellyfin, I’m just pointing out facts. Not even an opinion piece.

        That’s correct.

        But you chose to ignore the instructions because you are used to a different way of doing it and them you get duplicate entries.
        That’s it (shrug).
