I keep trying, I have an extremely large collection and it keeps falling flat on metadata matching. Especially with anime, yes I have installed the add-ons. They still suck. And for whatever reason it's transcoding performance is nowhere near as good. It also still has an unresolved memory leak issue with a ticket that's been open for a long long time about it. I want to replace Plex but it needs to be with something as good as Plex
I had a lot of trouble jellyfin and anime until I started putting things into season folders, even if they only had one season. So if I had Ano Hana I'd put the episodes in a folder like this
Media Disk/Anime/Ano Hana/Season 1/episodes_here
If it's a movie, then it goes into a folder with other movies.
Media Disk/Anime Movies/movies_here
Once I started doing that, Jellyfin automatically recognized most Anime.
Emby is the premium version of Jellyfin. I have found the meta information works a lot better. I haven’t done much transcoding but it does support it, and there are more apps to access it. Not too happy with the iOS app but the LG WebOS app works great.
My plex server is the best streaming experience I ever had. Only stopped running it because I just wasn’t watching anything for a good bit. More time on my hands now, so time for a revival.
I have been rekindling my patronage to my county's libraries and archive.org.
Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.
I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can't find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.
Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.
All it took for me to take up sailing full time was the removal of King of the Hill from Netflix. I couldn’t find it anywhere at first, so I did the next logical step. I later found out that it was available on Hulu. Asinine. I feel like Hank would have done the same thing, for the principle of it alone.
Plex is so much better than Netflix, or really any other streaming service, in my opinion. I have all of the content that I want, and supplement the rest with my favorite YouTubers.
Yep, Hank would have traveled to a library and rented the disc, watched one episode, and returned it immediately. Then he'd repeat the process each time he wanted to watch an episode.
Does Walmart have a monopoly on kinder chocolate? The idea is to have several distributors each with as complete a catalog as possible. Having such a shattered offers between platforms makes it very noncompetitive against any piracy solution.
