minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoTIL about Jellyfin. Is it like Plex? Better? I assume it’s solid since everyone knows about it?
minus-squareCrow of Minerva@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoIt’s plex but open source and without any sort of subscription. I have been using it for a couple of years and never had a problem
minus-squareb_mcschmee@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoDoes it work outside of the home network as well as plex does? Also, do you think it is worth switching if I already bought the lifetime plex pass?
minus-squareCrow of Minerva@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoIt should work, but I use tailscale so I can’t personally vouch for it. I don’t think it differs that much from plex tho, so if you are fine with it and you have already the pass, you aren’t losing out anything major
minus-squareMidas@ymmel.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years agoIt’s great software but for me it’s missing at least 1 must-have feature, being intro detection & skipping. If you want to get into them you can run them both on the same library and just compare which you like best
minus-squareKuro@sha1.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoThere is a plugin you can install for that, but it is a bit finicky: https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper
