    I didn’t say I could recreate Plex in my homelab. I said Jellyfin has short comings.

    Not the point of an open source server. That’s your issue.

    Moving the goal posts, The point of this exercise is to show how Jellyfin is a direct replacement for Plex. If you say that it is not, my points stand that it is lacking.

    caching the TVDB and movie DB.

    Every new user that moves from Plex to JF just hammers the fuck out of the free and open services. When one of those services has any issue at all, we’re collectively in bad shape. Plex has protection against this. It would be useful if we cached their stuff and threw it into a DHT, crowd refreshing it.

    There is a plugin to do OpenID

    This does not work for anything by pc clients. if you feed a roku, appletv, android TV, samsung television, visio… a 2FA prompt, it’ll tell you to get bent. THEN there’s the half assed fail2ban they made instead of surfacing the logs someplace that we could use real fail2ban, but now you have ME complaining that I can’t hack features into it where there’s no reason they’re not already there.

    Can’t comment on that. My library is small (<10TB)

    Their search sucks balls even for small libraries. They know it and they’ve been working on it for years. There are some crazy hacky solutions screwing with ports and moving traffic through elastic-cache. it’s extremely hacky.

    In the end, I’m using Jellyfin as my own personal media server and the media server for my family in my house. It’s not as safely designed as Plex, which itself has had some security issues in the past, but they have a paid team for that, You can’t even hack all the features Plex has into your home lab, I could stick it behind cloudflare and get SSL, some proper anti hammer, anti-abuse, but then I’m selling my watch habbits to cloudflare.

    I’m glad we have Jellyfin, I wish I had the skill and time to contribute, if they’d even PR a big-ass change like 2FA, last I heard they were standing on the “that might lead people to port forward it openly which would be less secure”, like people aren’t already doing that.

    I’d LOVE to get rid of my Plex, it’s just no where near as capable for my remote users, I can’t force grandma to run tailscale.

    So, this is TOTALLY doable with two caveats:

    1. For most things, you’re going to need a variance on high-efficiency and pollution laws. Those old appliances weren’t sipping water and electricity, and their refrigeration cycles threw out tons of waste heat and used refrigerants that were super rough on the atmosphere.

    2. They’re going to cost 3 times as much as a current appliance. Those heavy metal fridges were expensive back in the day, they were equialent to thousands of dollars today with shitty freezers and manual defrosting. Cast metal and shipping are disproportionately more expensive than the used to be.


  • My wife started watching tt, I had just escaped the youtube client, reddit and facebook. I watched we swipe past 6 things and pause to watch one for 30 seconds, then swipe through 4 more. OHHH FUCK NO, NOT TODAY SATAN.

    I do have to admit, She gets her news a LOT faster than I do. But she also gets a tremendous amount of knee-jerk conjecture.

    Honey, did you hear X?

    Umm, that doesn’t sound quite right.

    grumble well I just saw it, but whatever
