Make sure you’re not running out of ram or disk space.

All I wanted to see is what activity over time was going on with my server and who was doing it. For that, it was clutch. YMMV

Happy Birthday! and Thank you so much for your constant vigilance and providing us untainted social spaces where we’re free to express ourselves without worrying if we’re the product.

Jellystat isn’t bad for a Taut alternative

You know, there’s probably a market for a hardware solution to do that. Wrap it up in a nice user interface, Family VPN bridge, expose JF servers.

just syncthing it :)

I just wish they’d fucking take their security seriously and we could wipe plex out.

You do then still have to expose JF to the open internet. That’s not without risk. Neither is Plex but they do make it a point to secure all their endpoints before login.

Repectfully, I think you’re wrong.

Making an account and giving it to uncle fred with a website address is a LOT easier than telling him to install an app on his phone/computer, inviting him via email, then trying to explain to him how to turn it on and off and telling him not to mess with the settings and route all his traffic through my home network.

That is still one spot where plex holds an edge.

The next time there’s a zero day in one of their packages you get pwned because their login doesn’t protect their ‘internal’ endpoints.

Keep that thing wrapped up or you will eventually regret it.

Honestly for video I agree, for audio, it’s just me and only in my house or phone so tailscale is fine. If my friends really want audio, they can pay streaming for it.

Yup, I only keep 4k of stuff that was really shot/scanned in 4k and absolutely worth it. 90% of the 4k content out there is 1080p upscaled anyway.

75TB

JF is damn good for video and has a better interface than plex

Finamp is horrible for big collections. As you ask JF for tracks or artists it loads them a handful at a time. I have 2300 artists 26,000+ tracks, if I want to listen to some NiN, trying to scroll through to N’s is maddening.

Finamp just crashes on me now and then. Play -> shuffle… wtf knows, might go 10m might go 2. Samsung Phone with 6GB of ram.

Finamp is rooted to JF features only, eg: it is incapable of cross fading because it has no ability to tell JF the songs were last played easily. If you want to set up a really large playlist, it’s one at a time, but you can put an m3u in the folder. but once you do that, your playlist is no longer editable through the GUI.

I moved over to Symfonium. It loaded my playlists, let’s me crossfade, everything seems ok, until i add new music or modify a playlist and it has to scrape the entirety of my collection to add a song. It can take hours.

I’m big on my playlists. I have exported years of jackfm and 98 rock to recreate real playlists from different eras.

JF audio is just absolutely stuck in the stoneage and any attempt for clients to work arond it and dig them out still have to deal with their slower than fuck database and api.

Most admins would stick their head in the sand. Thank you!

If that documentation was awful, I’d REALLY like to see your take on NixOS :)

Hey I drove to the library, picked up all these things you needed, got dinner here ya go, free!

You drove? man that’s lazy…

He used AI to clean up translation and save time after he spent a fuck ton of time curating and delivering us a helpful product. Calling him out as lazy is an awful take.

Yup, if there was ever a decent use for AI, this is it. Lemmy can (and will) hate the shit out of it, but it took a little burden off the shoulders of someone doing us a great service.

That’s fine for browser-based watching, literally no one in my group watches via the browser. Even on android it’d be a fight. Grandma’s not going to go on to a browser to auth her session.

The clients need to support it. If it were just backend, I’d fork it myself.

The authentication is lacking 2fa and has a half hearted attempt at fail2ban

If you try to properly implement either of those, the standard device clients won’t work anymore.

Plex provides default SSL.

The relay is actually a bit more useful.

You can be on a carrier grade NAT with no real external IP.

It’s more akin to running a VPS somewhere and SSH tunneling your home server through it.

They also cashe the entirety of the TVDB and EPG Services.

I’m not sore about most of this with jellyfin, and I am trying to primarily use it, but I really miss some of the features. But realistically, adding 2FA to the clients would be a huge benefit. trying to replace 2FA with wish.com fail2ban feels particularly dirty.

I can’t decide if you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re just trying to troll me.

I’m sorry, but writing down the data from your organizational program and re-entering it all from scratch is NOT a backup solution.

If you have such scant data to do that, you didn’t need to have nextcould installed in the first place.

18% of people running next cloud are not backing it up.

Not OP, I’ve kinda had a middle of the road experience with it.

I run JF and Plex on the same shares.

I dropped 10k tracks on it and a bunch of audiobooks, my stuff is 100% tagged.

I use tailscale to get to the server because here’s no Nat Holepunching going on.

I try to use it as much possible for audio, but some days, I just give in and use plexamp (like a guilty pleasure)

cons:

• It has issues with displaying some of the songs, they’re tagged right but you just can’t find some of it. They’re all Discogs coded, so there’s not even a lot of extra characters.
• It doesn’t always remember where in a book I am,
• It has no idea about collections of book files.
• Search is very slow, (yes there is a plugin for this, yes it’s complicated enough I haven’t tried it yet)
• Scrolling a large list is stupid low, it should just stream everything text into ram and bring thumbs in on demand
• Finamp: Finamp is barely a wrapper for the JF engine to the point that they can’t implement effects or crossfade without the feature being added in JF first. But JF is just using a ready-to-go library to play music, so changes to JF require upstream library updates. Audio development feels stagnant.
• Finamp scrolling loads one letter at a time. Scroll to Z? you get to wait, A…B…C…D…E…F…G…H…I…J…K…L…M…N…O…P…Q…R…T…U…V…W…X…Y…Z, no skipsies. It literally takes me a couple of minutes to go to songs that start with Z.
• Plugin installs are complicated and poorly documented, and compatibility with versions is dicey
• Finamp: If you lose the network in the middle of a song, you can soft-lock the app.
• Finamp: occasionally crashes if left for a long play session on my late-model Android phone.
• No options to cast.
• No listening through a NAT without port forwarding (which is dicey without a security team)
• No 2FA
• Finamp?: Shuffle is too random, you can get the same song to play twice in a couple of minutes. it needs to pull at least a couple of hours of list and shuffle that, rather than random play.

pros:

• It’s free
• It works good enough-ish for a daily car ride.
• It has some form of limited home-grown fail2ban
• The developers are super nice people.
• I exported my Plex playlists and used some Python to turn them into m3u lists, which worked fine. (Would be a cool feature to import from Plex)
• Playlist and Shuffle work mostly fine.

There are a LOT of pros and cons.

Pros:

• Developed by a professional, multi-disciplined full-time team with some security oversight.
• Hosted caching of The Movie DB for faster lookups
• Provision of SSL communication to and from your server without any special setup
• FREE EPG data caching
• Centralized server management from the web
• Low-speed relay for those stuck behind CGNAT.
• A REALLY solid mobile media player (sorry, but plexamp beats the pants off the JF alternatives)
• Centralized Login for your friends and family with email-based password reset
• 2FA already set up
• A nice reflector gauge to see if you’re ports are open and what your limits are
• Great client support on a LOT of devices
• Search is fast out of the box, even with extensive collections
• Their clients tend to do a better job supporting all the decoding features on every player

Cons:

• Not free
• Not Open
• They have a lot of your historical data and will eventually sell it when they sell the company. This is not going to be optional. That data is worth a lot and they likely already have enough EULA rights to sell it to whoever asks. Imagine if the MPAA gets in on the fun.
• Their security history is quite dicey
• The lifetime membership will eventually be enshitified as it’s not economically sound in the long run
• They constantly change the terms of the agreement.
• They constantly remove features people are using
• They constantly push to share data between users
• They constantly push Ads
• They are making previously free features pay.
• Their investors are starving, which makes them a liability.
• Their clients are generally slower.

Aww come on guys, my JF boner can only handle so much /s

Seriously though, why did they even give you the option to disagree, you know they’re just going to force it 3-6 months.

👋

Fantastic, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you give on anything before.

This is cool, are you incapable of not getting the last word in? My schedule just opened up today and man, I’ve got all day.
