Genuinely Plex has become so obtrusive about NEW FEATURES, NOW WE HAVE THIS, USE THIS THUS WAY!!! and then also my libraries have somehow become even slower to load. I've been using jellyfin way more often

Are you runnin multiple subnets? If so you need to enable them all as local nets in plex or else it’ll trigger this.

Well that's one less customer they'll have, it's time to take your money elsewhere!

Edit: oh right.

And this is why I'm setting up Jellyfin. I paid for a lifetime Plex pass a while ago, and I would have been happy to toss them some more money if they had just stuck to the core service (like Nabu Casa/Home Assistant - absolutely worth $7/mo), but nooooooooooooooo Plex decided to spin up their own streaming servers and go down that path instead.

I smell an IPO coming soon.

I would go with jellyfin, but my stupid old Samsung TV has tizen and can't find a way to install it.

You could plug in a firestick or something similar as jellyfin has an android app.

You need to setup a developer account so you can install apps from local sources

People often involved with piracy probably love entering personal information in that context...

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Jellyfin or Emby.

What’s plex better at?

Getting people to pay to watch their locally stored media?

Jellyfin.

That is all.

I don't have the link(s) on hand but there's a Tizen build of Jellyfin for Samsung TVs. It runs rather slow on my old tube so I wouldn't recommend it outside of a last resort. It's actually smoother for me to just open the app on the TV and then remote control it from a browser/app on another device (my Steam Deck is my homelab universal remote). But you can use the Tizen dev tools or a simpler docker container to push it to the TV.

For my folks I got a cheap Walmart brand Android box (Onn 4k Plus). I installed Jellyfin from the app store then black hole'd the thing because I'm wary of cheap Android apps and their history of supply chain attacks. It's much more responsive and also leaves me with the option of installing additional stuff like Smart Tubes, Retro Arch and whatnot.
