Look at em chest muscles

Ah, now that you mention it. Thanks

Wait a second… Odo is the commander from Hot Shots?! How have I never seen this?

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos believes that artificial intelligence is going to lead to unprecedented productivity gains which could result in cheaper food, housing, and two income households deciding that they no longer need two incomes.

Pretty sure This only applies if it is a two billionaire income household

I was under the impression this was satire

Ive been saying for years that we need a show that leaves the Starfleet. Star Trek is an interesting universe and seeing it from a perspective outside of a starfleet vessel would be great. Really thought STD would go in that direction when they were aboard Books ship at the beginning of S3 (me thinks)…

The crowd that claims that setting up an elaborate VPN scheme is fine has a problem entering an IP range?

Of course it is. That’s literally what it is made for

The state of Nextcloud is not in any way comparable to the mess Jellyfin calls a Backend

Thats why I said thread and not post. This thread was comparing the two

Theres a reason everyone uses a VPN to allow remote streaming for their Jellyfin. The things as open as a barns door, so you should not just open it to the public. Like I said, even the devs say not to do that, its just not secure enough

The fact that Plex does not even have settings for hardware encoding, besides on/off, tells me that’s bullshit

Running Plex locally is still perfectly viable without going through their servers

Surely you haven’t exposed your Jellyfin to the open net, since even the devs admit that that is a terrible idea

Surely you must be trolling at this point

(Assuming you have a Plex pass):

1. Setup for Plex isn’t just easier, its basically non existent. Run the exe, point to folder, done. HW encoding just works, transcoding just works, metadata gathering just works.

2. remote streaming. No need to setup an elaborate VPN scheme and install a client for it on every device you want to have remote access. It just works and even punches through CGNAT and the like

3. Clients. Plex has a client for every system under the sun. No need for sideloading or anything like that, they are everywhere

4. UI. Plex has a sane and good looking ui for the streaming client and the admin interface.

Jellyfin is not bad, but its just not a replacement for Plex. And the way the devs are acting, I doubt it ever will be

I also only paid 70€ for my Lifetime Plex, some 10 years ago. That was definitely worth it and continues to be, but this increase is pretty clearly a soft end for the lifetime licenses.

Would definitely have been the more honest approach

Because Jellyfin did not exist back then and does not have feature parity today? But I know you just wanted to show everyone how smart you are for using Jellyfin…

I, and I assume everyone on this forum who has one, paid around 50-100€ for their lifetime pass. My hardware encoding works great and doesn’t need me to tell it about each and ever codec in existence and how to handle each one.

The new price is insane, but that was not the topic of this thread.
