I love EVERYTHING there except

Saved servers and settings will not be migrated from Jellyfin Media Player.

I can fix it, and it’s no big deal, but I provide services to friends and family who’ll need me to walk them through it.

That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.

That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.

They sometimes lose things as well.

And they harrass their users in other ways, for example by randomly renaming stuff to “AI…” or even integrating with AI.

  100%
  
  Ads, selling private data, adding AI, cutting features.
  
  I just need JF to be in the same neighborhood as the corporate stuff for security and end-user ease of use. I can do a hell of a lot of complicated stuff on my end, but walking grandma through a change is painful.

    The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.

    I absolutely hate what Plex has become. I bought a lifetime pass a long, long time ago, and ever since that purchase, they seem to have done nothing but strip features I need and force features I don’t want.
    
    Now if we could just sort the jf collections type in ways other than by date ;)

That looks specific to jf desktop, do you have many users using that?

On the plus side it actually plays video smoothly for me now where as before it didn’t work at all.
