Quick notes from an avid jellyfin user. When you have a show or movie or whatever you want, not get identified, there’s a simple identify option you can do on the client on a computer or phone by clicking the 3 dots on the media. You get to search and label it. The only time this hasn’t appropriately assigned metadata for me was for shows with duplicate episodes in one mkv or whatever. That did take a lot of renaming, which did suck and is reasonable to not want to have to do. Especially for massive libraries.
I definitely agree about the roku client not having a marked as watched feature, that should be added.
There’s a lot of work to be done but it’s not just being done in the basic edition. For instance, there’s plugins that allow the skip credits and skip intro functions you want. And there’s ones for fanart, and allowing other databases of Metadata to select from. There’s a lot of plugins and more are being actively developed rather often. Even I’m trying to develop a “continue watching” feature like from Netflix, but it’s going slowly.
Jellyfin definitely takes more finagling than plex, i switched at the beginning of the year, but I’ve had multiple times since where my internet is out and because jellyfin is local network I’m still able to stream my media.
So yeah. Just some info about jellyfin. I get wanting the ease of plex, but I’ve personally really enjoyed adding the plugins and fucking around with everything it has.
I know right? They totally aren’t actively supporting ballot initiatives and constitutional amendments in a multitude of states that they do and don’t have a trifecta in that would protect abortion access. And there certainly haven’t been laws passed in Michigan, California, Minnesota, Colarado, Massachusetts, New York and several other states that protect access for abortion seekers and protect abortion providers. Democrats also totally haven’t talked about passing a right to an abortion into law if they get a trifecta in November and Biden definitely hasn’t signed an executive order that aims to help protect abortion seekers and providers on federal lands. Democrats just don’t care about abortion rights.
