And they recently added a feature where they tell your friends on the platform what kind of porn you’ve been watching ✌🏾 I think I’ll stick to Jellyfin.

Heads up! Plex media server with the Plex clients on all your devices is such a smooth experience. Highly recommended. And their “Watch together” feature is so nice for people that prefer to stay in bed and spend the winter binge watching next to a warm body.

Heads up! Plex is garbage and enshitefying their own services to make more money.

Heads up! Jellyfin is a great alternative!

It is working well for my purposes, but I suppose I may have recommended something without knowing this part of the story.

Don’t feel bad. Plex is working wonders for me. Yea, there are things that annoy me about it, like the volume issues. But all in all, it passes the “wife test”.
99.9% of the people here who trip over themselves to shit on Plex and recommend any other service that requires IT knowledge to consistently and easily give access to family members, don’t have to deal with the “wife test”. Substitute “wife” with husband or mom, or grandma.

Use Jellyfin. Stop relying on corps’ services.

Jellyfin is majorly based. I use it with Syncthing for all my media except games

There’s a Jellyfin plug-in for Kodi and it’s pretty awesome

I would if it had most of the features that Plex does.
SheeEttin@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It does.
AtariDump@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ok.
So it has a dedicated music app?
It has music filtering?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
