I run audiobookshelf and it’s amazing!

So glad i switched to jellyfin half a year ago

Maybe the IP address changes? You should provide some more info.

Terminal outputs etc

Yup, mine aswell

I really do love this newsletter

Also i find that the speed of scanning, getting metadata, accuracy of linking metadata and files, the whole music section is lacking on jellyfin comparing to Plex

Still I prefer jellyfin as its free and open source and it does what I want it to do. But in my experience Plex did all of this way better, faster, more accurately and reliable… And jellyfin music category is outright unusable compared to plex

I am talking solely about the server side, not the player side.

Obviously a good functioning player will not need hw accellerated transcoding or hdr conversion. But sometimes that’s simply neither possible or feasable. Some hardware simply cannot properly transcode all formats, or don’t allow for installation of a player that can do that. Sometimes i watch a movie on my laptop while being connected to my phone mobile hotspot and using wireguard to phone home, i don’t want to direct stream a full movie in hdr and 1080p 40mbit/s… i want the server to transcode it properly.

So to conclude - i am talking about serverside, not playerside - stop assuming the person you are talking with doesn’t know what they do simply because you think you know better.

No i am not talking about the player as hw accell and hdr conversion runs on the server itself

The server is not bulletproof and in my experience plex ran better for me than jellyfin.

I have to say, Plex is a much more polished and more reliable piece of software in my experience.

I’ve used Plex for a couple of years and even got myself a lifetime premium pass when it was 65% reduced or something. But when news started popping up about them potentially leaking what content you watch i burned that bridge (look at the instance i come from, you can guess where my content stems from :D)

I then migrated over to jellyfin. It’s not as polished, it doesn’t run that reliable for me as plex did, hw accell, hdr convertion didn’t setup as easy but after a lot of tinkering it now works very fine for me.

I really enjoy jellyfin and the ecosystem that evolved around it.

I switched from Plex to jellyfin solely for that reason

Also hw accell being free in jelly aswell

This is way too overkill, simply use WebDAV

No offense to our brothers and sisters in the fediverse, but kbin.social surely has a lot of spam coming out… it’s a very popular instance and that attracts a lot of dickheads.

12,363 and counting for us lol… it’s stressful sometimes but i am super happy with our community. Most reports actually are about others content interestingly enough

Admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com here and yeah i can confirm it’s from instances with open registration. Also most of them are smaller instances that aren’t that well maintained and will probably feel the consequence by being blocked by other instances…

And kbin.social 🤦

Yeah according to the other comments i’ll go with immich as the main photo storage and just sync them over to nextcloud via external storage connection.

Thanks!

As of this moment, it is broken though as they rebuild the project to use wolf instead of sunshine.

But the maintainer says they will be releasing in a few days; I talked to them and they helped me spin up the development version and that works really good! (still missing controller passthrough though :D)

yeah but i don’t want to run it as a direct application.

My server is run entirely via docker and i want all my hosted stuff to be docker. And their docker setup requires a lot of manual setup, building your own image and all of that…

i will go for https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/running.html

Got it, thanks!

What would my advantages be here after using the patches?

I plan to only connect one single client to my host at any given moment. So i don’t think i need the restrictions lifted i guess?
