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?

Good luck with your eventual transition to Linux! Check in with Lemmy communities if you want help with anything!

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.

This all still doesn’t address the first thing I wrote:

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards.

Why can Jellyfin perform perfectly on the same hardware? Very snappy. It’s obviously not the hardware’s fault, but more a lack of optimization — and testing. If they tested/dogfed their app on WebOS at all, they’d know it’s ass.

Ah okay. Yes, it seems to be indeed. 😅

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards.

How do you explain this? Every other app is very quick to load on the TV… Plex is the only issue.

Yeah dude. Besides Plex, the TV is FUYOOOH! 😙👌

No rain here. ☀️👍

What TV is that? I have an LG OLED TV from 2019 running WebOS, so that’s the version of Plex I am using.

My Plex library loads instantly on my phone and on the web.

I am using the Plex app on my LG TV, to be more precise. That’s the WebOS version of Plex. On my phone and on the web, it loads instantly.

I would probably still want to use Plex due to its superior interface, despite this shit they are pulling. But Plex on my TV is so UNBELIEVABLY slow. I have a large library, like almost 14 TB and still growing. But there’s no reason it should take almost a minute (or more than?) for the first content to show after starting the app.

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards. It’s inexcusable how poorly optimized Plex is.

Found a good one ☝️

I have both Plex and Jellyfin.

Plex takes like 1+ minute to start on my TV. Another maybe 15–20 seconds to load the first screen of content. It’s insane. Jellyfin with the exact same library takes a few seconds to load its start page.

I don’t know what Plex is smoking. 🤷‍♂️

One day I’ll be Jelly only. ✨

The way they write is insufferable.
