I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.
Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.
So Jellyfin... How hard is it to migrate from Plex?
Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.
What about it? Genuinely... I've been using Rokus longer than Plex, what's the issue with the Roku version?
It took me just a few minutes to set up. 4 folders, TV, Videos, Movies, Music
It would take me more than a few minutes to set up remote access VPN-less, Arr stack and Riven/Zurg to it...
But hey, as a Plex Pass lifetime user Jellyfin still looks like a good second option.
Sorry, did you mean a lifetime membership to Jellyfin? Because I don't think there is such a thing...
The lifetime membership to Jellyfin is on Github in the form of a GPL license and the source code. I've got a lifetime membership to Jellyfin and it didn't cost me a dime.
I didn't have to pay for Jellyfin, I think you got scammed.
Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I've used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it's very useful for sharing content I don't want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn't have the polish that Plex has. There's definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.
Erst vor kurzem gewechselt. Geht schon gut, diese Geleefloße
Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.
Besides, I don't think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc
The worst I've experienced so far is Panty And Stocking S2. Here's a copy paste of what I explained to someone using my plex asking why it was so fucked.
E01 is a single episode
E02 and E03 are one episode in the west and on japanese streaming(E02), but it airs on TV as two episodes in japan
E04, E05, E06 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E03), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E07, E08, E09 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E04), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E10, E11, E12, are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E05), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E13 is a single episode, but it's episode 13 for TV broadcast, and 6 for streaming..
E14 and E15 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E07), but airs on TV as two episodes in japan
I don't see the problem. If the files are named properly, software like sonarr will have no problem organising it. You just name the file S02E4-E6 etc.
That is indeed the right way to do it, unfortunately Plex doesn't handle it well. It'll show all the episodes separately, but each one plays the entire file (fair, it doesn't know for sure where the breaks are, but could be done better), and watching the whole thing marks only the one you selected as watched, so you have to mark all the other "episodes" as watched manually (this is annoying, if it knows you watched the whole file, it should know that you've watched all the episodes it covers).
Usually if an episode is a 2 parter in one file, I'll just name it for part 1 since you'd watch them together anyway, but for cartoons the two parts are usually entirely unrelated, so it really only works properly if the file's split. It'd be better if the interface at least showed that a range of episodes are combined so you could, say, start it and know that the episode you want needs to be scrubbed through to find it, and also if it marked them all as played when you watch the whole thing.
I'm so glad I don't catalog my downloaded stuff.
I recently switched to using shoko to handle scanning/metadata etc instead of hama/ass and it’s been working pretty well.
My main issue is that I use Sonarr which uses tvdb as backend.
If an alternative to sonarr existed that could also integrate with Overseerr I'd be on that instantly, but sadly there is nothing like that.
Having to manually handle shows my friends and family want to watch us not happening.

Your providing a free service, right?.... Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 "friends" like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.
Oh god, I love the anime but yeah I can understand that their super loosey-goosey style of episodes would be p bad if you wanted super detailed organizing. The place I've been watching them just groups the content into a single episode, since they effectively are broadcast as one single piece, just with (potentially) multiple chapters.
I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn't bundle these up.
Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).
This is a very niche meme. I love it.
Futurama is also a pain to organize.
Because of the movies split into episodes?
I have the French dub, which has a very different broadcast order.
S03E12 in French might be S02E22 in English, while S03E13 is part one of a special episode (so... S00E04, p1).
No one had published a conversion guide yet,so I ended up playing each file up through the title credits, to determine the new watch order.
I raise you multi-language content or a mixed Australian/US-Broadcast Mythbusters collection 😐
And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that's messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that

Ouch, my condolences.
It's fascinating that it took me longer to scroll through that than most people have or ever will spend on watching the show.
Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.
I've heard they're called smyths on reddit and there's a complete collection in some thread over there.
r/smyths/comments/8gix4w/streamlined_mythbusters_complete_may_2018_update
That sounds interesting, I'll have a look!
What's the difference?
Sounds like a fan cut release
Each myth is contiguous in each episode rather than being interweaved. Much more satisfying.
The initial idea is probably to extend the viewers interest over the whole episode rather than pick what you wanted to see.
Works more for linear tv. Not so much for VoD.
Thanks for the insight :)
Also, repetitions are removed and some of the fluff (though sometimes a bit too much of the fluff has been removed according to some opinions I read once upon a time on reddit). To make up for it, replace the missing fluff with the stupidly long fluffy tail of content which this comment is now somehow turning into. Fluffing the fluff. And also, repetitions(!) are removed but also the fluff.

The bane of my existence before it hit Paramount+
Now you can find individual episodes as WEB-DL
Good shout. I basically put the show on hold until something like this happened. Do you know if the first 4 or 5 seasons are available?
Can personally speak to 1-3 being available
I took the effort to split every episode S1-S3 in davinchi
Personally, I don't care enough. Mostly my kids watch SpongeBob, and I can tell when vaguely paying attention as they watch it that I've seen every episode in seasons 1-3 (the only seasons I bothered to load) multiple times, which would specifically have been when I was a kid watching live TV. And half the time it's on shuffle anyways so the order doesn't matter at all
Edit to add: not sure if the issues people are describing are Plex specific but Jellyfin required zero manual effort when I injested the rips. All episodes have correct metadata (as two parters, so for example I have "S1E10-11 Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple" as a single episode)
I am too much of a lerfectionist (metadata) to not care. :(
Edit:
Thing is, not every release respects the aired or the DVD-order that TVDB uses.
So you might have some episode which deviates from the current order and suddenly it doesnt work anymore.
American dad being screwy is what got me to finally setup Jellyfin. I was just using Stremio for everything but the jumping around because of season misnumbering was bad
The Repair Shop was a real pain in the ass to import since they apparently run multiple seasons concurrently for some reason.
My demons are all Doctor Who. I had it mostly straight in plaques and when I moved over to jelly fin, nothing was right.
I thought I had downloaded bad releases and the episodes were messy..glad to see is not just me having trouble to organize sponge Bob to have episode preview right
jellyfin?
