• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to Jellyfin recently and I mostly prefer it over Plex, except for lack of organization tools and the goddamn roulette wheel that is seeking. Why is it that seeking defaults to 30 second intervals, requires a click to confirm, and occasionally just jumps to some random point near the beginning of the file? Great software overall, but it’s wild to me that this basic playback functionality is so hit or miss.

  I can only speak for Unraid, but I would imagine admin time is basically nil for any dedicated NAS distro if all you want is to store files. <10 minutes from scratch to create an array and enable a share.

  I run it on an NVIDIA Shield. Can’t speak to any others with certainty, but from a quick search, there are guides for installing on Fire Stick and ONN devices too.

  I suspect it’ll run on just about any Android or Google TV device as long as the default launcher setting isn’t locked down, and even then you can probably enable it with a couple quick ADB commands.

  Not true, unless by “build yourself” you mean install Projectivy Launcher on any Android box that supports it.

  Got an archive link or something? Can’t even read a full sentence on this garbage site before it asks you to install their app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the disconnect here is a lot of people buy the “lifetime” Plex Pass, which is a one-time cost and not a subscription. Saying “X feature will be locked behind a subscription” implies some new pricing model and leaves users who paid a one-time cost years ago wondering if it’s time to look for an alternative or if they’re completely unaffected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “a subscription” is ambiguous as to whether it’s being locked behind the existing Plex Pass or some new/additional subscription model. The title could have more accurately stated that remote streaming is becoming a Plex Pass feature. As is, Plex Pass users (many of whom bought the lifetime pass years ago,) can’t tell from the title whether this is a new subscription cost or if they’re completely unaffected.

  The average ICE agent would be very upset by all of these comments if they could read.
