Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!
-
I now extract all my subs, but for the first 2 years using it I left everything embedded and it always worked normally. Even with some advanced ones like Jujutsu Kaisen and One Pace, which both use stylized ones.
-
I was just thinking yesterday - when was the last time we server owners actually had a feature update? I think last one I noticed was credits skip, and that was... 3 years ago? About?
Meanwhile Jellyfin apparently has been developing full steam ahead, I noticed credit skips in my test instance yesterday.
-
I started with Kodi and added Jellyfin later
-
What do you mean library losses. I've been using jellyfin twoish years now and have never had this happen.
-
The app on my LG TV is acceptable, but does have random problems, like it can't connect over TLS, and it's kinda slow to navigate. But it works, and my kids know how to work it.
-
You people do realize that you can use the Plex server without using the Plex apps right? I pretty much exclusively use Infuse to interface with my Plex server and have none of the issues I see mentioned here.
-
Just tested and with Findroid on my phone, no subtitle options appeared at all, though it had 4 languages embedded. On my roku they showed up but as soon as I picked it it loaded until it said Error During Playback
-
I also use it on an LG TV and sometimes it can't run at its normal framerate with subtitles on. I haven't figured out why yet, but it might be embedded files like someone else says in this thread. Other than that it works like a charm.
-
Android TV and any file with embedded subtitles. Only external subtitles, if present, are shown. I understood that is because I'm using AMD hardware encoding and I assumed it was unfixable. Didn't investigate more as I'm going to switch to Intel soon

Sorry, maybe that was a knee jerk.
Don't get me wrong. I like jellyfin and I try to use it over Plex most days. But it does have out-of-the-box issues.
I've installed jellyfin several times with both docker and bare metal methods over the last 4 years. The transcodes have been an issue every time.
Maybe its my usage, but watching roughly 5 episodes of a show fills up roughly 3gb of the /var/lib/jellyfin/transcodes folder. In a 4gb container image, that's death. Jellyfin is the only container I need to expand to 16gb to adequately deal with this.
The default transcodes cleanup task is limited to every 24h at smallest interval, the option "delete segments" does absolutely nothing (I've watched).
-
Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video
If you're talking about commercial streaming services like Netflix, I highly doubt that. If you're talking about self-hosted services like Plex, then you're absolutely right.
-
Same. The only issue I've had is it not finding my TV shows, but once I figured out how it wants them stored, no issues whatsoever.
-
My guess would be internal networking issue preventing the two from talking
-
Jellyfin is so underrated
-
Yeah, I did have a to transcode a bluray rip, but I think that might be a network limitation rather than a processing one. 1080p transcode worked fine, so it's not resolution.
One of these days I'll DIY a HTPC, but for now, the Jellyfin app works acceptably well.
-
In my experience, transcoding with subtitles becomes an issue when the subtitles are burned in to the video. I often get external subtitles from https://www.opensubtitles.org and then stick the downloaded SRT file in the same folder as the movie. Make sure it has the exact same file name as the movie so jellyfin will associate the two together. Once I do that, it does not transcode at least for subtitle reasons.

Before the one license=one version switch in 2013 the license stated "and future updates" which they did, but they switched to needing to pay for new licenses for some reason. I remember that being the primary reason I switched to emacs.
-
Before sublime text 3 all updates were included in the single license, not just major revision updates.
This was back in 2012. -
That's all for now, thanks
-
Licenses for sublime text 2 just said "and future updates". I remember the "lifetime" thing being a selling point on producthunt.
This was back in 2012 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.
