I can’t disable transcoding globally, I have to mess with horrible config menus on every client I want to use. Library scans take more than 30 minutes on my i7-4790k NAS - after that I just stopped and removed the jellyfin server from it. Just being open source is not enough. Once it starts working as a user-first app I’ll gladly switch over.
It’s a hammer in search of nails. If you don’t want transcoding it simply doesn’t work. It’s nice that it exists and works for some people, but I despise ‘solutions’ that have no reason to exist except the devs needing an excuse to do thins they like. If jellyfin had a normal, regular, honest and simple option to just turn off transcoding I’d probably switch to it (even if the library scan process takes days instead of seconds). I don’t want to transcode anything ever, I use things in my lan, my devices can play all of the formats in my librabry - this is like archiving and unpacking every single file I move around on my pc.
Now plex is not opensource freeware nice things - it does what I tell it to do. That’s about it
Hey let me just say that jellyfin is shit. It’s shit and it sucks ass. Thanks 👍
Yay free software and lets fuck kids
Thanks, that’s sort of what I thought

Wait, this could work behind a provider NAT? That’s something I never ever solved
You won’t die from every snake bite, avoiding these bites is not supported by facts
I’m not sure how you can spread the responsibility so far down? I’m at fault while I have almost no power? I’m not saying do nothing, I’m saying do the thing that matters, like remove these cunts from the world. That’s our responsibility as a species if we want to continue living
Until you stop billionaires from happening you won’t solve anything. Remove the source of all of the shit and things will get better
Amazing, it’s almost as if most of us aren’t techdudebros with our heads up our own asses :)
Nah man, the Luddites weren’t against technological progress, they were against the ruling class fucking us over. So I guess that goes for the terminal that needs a user account
Just here too look at shits saying this is because racism jesus fucking christ
I’m just now downloading the other standalone thing. But I have to say the state of the thing is discouraging, I’m wondering why even try if it really doesn’t function at all
I just tried again, none of the options works. Like nothing works at all except the standalone thing that’s like 200megs
edit: ok, the timimi thing works really well, I missed it somehow. This way the thing makes sense, no need for a huge ass app, just like 3 megs of addon and it works weeee
I never even managed to make it work, I remember it needed some kind of plugin for saving. That sucks pretty bad, and if I’m gonna host I’d use something else entirely. Maybe it works better now?
I switched to Niagara too, gotta say it’s really great. I can’t imagine using something else now
I can’t expect this will cost less than 400 bucks.
The only reason is the sign up/UX thing. Maaaaybe. And now a critical mass is there
