First “anime” was Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Second one I think was Death Note, then Attack on Titan. Haven’t watched much outside of those, ngl. Not a big anime guy.

through a website

I access it via the app on my LG TV with WebOS, so not technically a website but yeah, over the network via an API at least 👍

complications 😅

Ah, oh… Looked a lot better from afar and a little blurry. Not my type of appearance up close and in focus.

Thank you though!

So uh, tipofmyp—? Who dat?

Dude how many of those is she gonna make

I have used Plex for over a decade, and I’m now fulltime on Jellyfin.

Plex works trash on my TV (LG from 2019). Jellyfin with the exact same library just flies. The performance is just god awful while browsing your library.

• startup takes minutes
• moving between posters takes seconds
• searching is not debounced between key presses so searching takes ages
• Plex on my TV cannot seem to play different audio/language tracks correctly. I select my preferred language, I explicitly select language, I set it to default in the container, nothing. It just plays English no matter what. Trash.
• The developers don’t care about their users. These issues have been reported for literal DECADES, and they responded years ago but have since ignored them. I reported it more recently, have been ignored for years now, despite keeping the thread alive from auto-deletion.

Fuck Plex, they don’t care, I don’t care. Hail Jellyfin, it does all I need it to do. Performance is great. It handles multiple language tracks.

The only thing Plex did better was duplicate merging. 👍 Not worth it though. Strictly unusable on my TV in general.

How can you be toxic without communication? What happened?

I meant I had trouble reading the title of this post 😅

I had some trouble with that title but I got through it after about 3 tries 😆

You’re asking alot here

😆👍🙏

acruakly

Brand new typo 😂

The odd thing here is that you bother to make a comment that says you don’t care. What is that about? 🙂

This is mostly going over my head, but I read all of it and it is very well written. Objective and factual (it seems to me). No belittling, just genuinely trying to deliver helpful criticism and explanation.

🤝🙇‍♂️

Good on you for being a good fellow human.

Makes sense. 👌🙏

Thank you.

Very confusing title phrasing, still.

Wow, super cool and obvious once you see it.

I’m confused by the title. Are you saying the stuff in the picture is wrong or misrepresenting reality, or the opposite?

Can I avoid updating to a version to avoid this enforcement?

I just wish Plex on my TV didn’t have this bug where it can’t play the correct audio track when Direct Play is enabled. So annoying.

Definitely sounds like a human error, for sure. Somebody messed up during installation/configuration.

Plex does not show me anything but my media at the forefront. 🤷‍♂️ But it’s slow on my TV.

My client showed that to me and I read it. I just imagined myself as someone who doesn’t know what Jellyfin is, and that text didn’t help much.

Ew. Yeah, good changes coming in that case. Glad they ironed that out!

Brilliant. 👍

Though sometimes you go to the website and it’s not much better.

Dude yes. Among my comments you’ll see that I ranted about this for a few days in the comments of another post. That’s even worse, when you can’t even find out for yourself.

any DB access now goes through the core library

Out of curiosity, this is better because of encapsulation? Protection from bad plugins?

I’m serious, there’s so much lazy posting on Lemmy regarding software releases.

• no mention of what the software is or does ✔️
• no mention of what’s interesting about the software is this release. ✔️

Jellyfin is quite a big name, but still, the pattern is clear.
