This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It’s been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying victims customers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.
Problem is jellyfin doesn’t have apps on stuff, therefore my family can’t reach the content on their TVs without side loading and that’s so far beyond any of them it isn’t even funny
Damn good, is an understatement. The only app I found better than the Xbox app is using Kodi Plex Plug In, but the HDR is non-existent on that, so it’s worthless to me.
This madlad made a chart comparing which files /codecs transcoded or Direct Played a few years ago. I finally found it again.

Edit: That’s an old one, there was one updated with the Series consoles, but I can’t find it. The Series Plex update (which may work on the others as well) rarely transcode anyone.
I’m gonna guess plugging in a roku is too much for them, too? When Arthur C Clarke said his magic quote I didn’t expect that line to be drawn at shiny lights on a screen for most people.
Every time one of you says this I can only imagine you’re into the most degenerate shit on earth. Like Christopher Walken in fursona shitting on Peter Dinklage while Megan Thee Stallion flicks bean in the corner
My tastes run deeper than skin and excretions. Only tainted minds can even discern where the sensuality begins and ends, the flickering myriad coaxing froth only from souls who peered long into the abyss. The decadent ecstasy afforded to we few is as delicious as it is unknowable. Do not search, do not query, if one is worthy then it will seek you out.
Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can’t compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I’ve had Plex deployed.
Ah you’re probably right about the mobile clients. I’m not a mobile watcher really. I can say though that the jellyfin desktop app and jellyfin mpv shim both have skip-intro integration, though I’ve only tested it with jellyfin MPV shim.

Good starters but today will just crush you to earn that Q3 +3%
I don’t even have anything like Plex, but because of you I’ll check out lemmyfin, I mean jellyfin.

What devices are missing support in your case? Not an exhaustive list of clients
To be fair, an app for Samsung TVs would be great. Currently you need a complicated work around to get it working.
This Samsung app is the one thing I need to actually switch my family over to jellyfin.
I could do the workaround for myself, but I’m not doing it for others.
So for now I’m the only jellyfin user
An Xbox app that isn’t just the web UI. Plex has a damn good Xbox app.

What does Kodi do better?

I swear to Satan this is always the goddamn problem with everything that is cool and could potentially free us from our corporate overlords.
Enshittification
Can cast fairly well from the phone app or even the browser. Chrome cast is funky though.
Enabling internet access is also a huge pain unless you’re willing to raw dog the entire internet.
Also even common stuff like Chromecast-ing will randomly break on Jellyfin and nobody can explain why.
Which TV models?

I don’t think the anime titles are bothering as many people as the unintentional exposure of their pornography.
I do too much curating to have my lists leaked. If you want access to my excellent tastes, I require payment in advance.
Sorry, I searched for Plex plus your username, you’re already compromised:
Busty Babes 8: Even the boobs have boobs in this one.
It’s boobs all the way down.
Always has been
I can’t say I’m interested in paying for your attendance to my anime club. Our first rule is screw the money, we’re pirates.
This is what separates the casual weebs from the professional otakus.

Which one of the Cenobites are you?
I’ve held many names, but my most recent moniker is Hellman. Hellman’s mayonnaise.
So guro then?
Does Jellyfin support skip-intro and skip-credits?
Skip-intro is an unofficial plugin ATM but can vouch that it works decently well. Can’t compare it to the Plex implementation since it has been quite a while since I’ve had Plex deployed.
But afaik it only works in the browser, not on mobile apps unless that changed in the last few months.

You can load your existing plex library into Jellyfin
