Can I do this with Plex too? The automatic downloading part? Or do I need to switch to another server app
Comment on Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy
4lan@lemmy.world 9 months agoOnce they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin and never looked back.
Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.

Yes I use it with Plex. Sonarr and Radarr handle the download and pass it off to Plex.

I have jellyfin but Netflix is more reliable and convenient. It’s just that recently it’s really hard to find anything interesting on Netflix anyway so this Twitter BS is just like the last drop…

IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do
I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.
I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.
$0 a month…

I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn’t able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there’s just one language and that’s it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I’m interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.

You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don’t need that quality too

Avid jellyfin user here:
Subtitles on jellyfin suck. Like really suck. Unless they are burned in with the media (maybe not the right term, but when they are shipped with the media as a track which some private trackers require) , they progressively get more and more out of sync to a plateau and get messed up with tracking. Almost every release this year has a “fix” for. Multiple clients with the same behavior. Not to mention getting hardware accelerated transcoding working on an ARC GPU 😅
But overall Jellyfin is damn great. It just is not quite to the refinement of Netflix, which is fine! It isn’t commercially backed luckily, so it won’t go to shit for money like Netflix did either.

Thats a fair point, i only notice it when trying to watch Korean movie. Thats not often for me, but i could see it being an issue if you use them often
