@midtsveen @jellyfin Ah hah! Yes!

Its been so long since I evaluated both #Jellyfin and Plex (and others), I can no longer provide any relevant comparison... but I was always wary of the whole "free but not really" model. Jellyfin has been good despite a somewhat painful (from what I recall) setup (and getting the right ffmpeg for encoding - blegh). Yeah, sometimes you have to finangle some metadata to get things to show up in the right spot, but that's what #FileBot is for.

Reminder, #Jellyfin is not trying to "compete" with other software.

We're not in competition - We can't "win" because we're not in a race.

We want Jellyfin to be the best it possibly can be because WE USE IT.

We volunteer our time to make it better because WE WANT TO.

What #Plex does or doesn't do is not on my radar because I don't use it.

Same with _____<insert other streaming software here>________. I don't use it, I don't care about it.

I could not care any less what other stream solutions are doing, I only care what we are doing.

We are not a business! We are not chasing money, usage numbers, ticket quotas, or any other imaginary number you may invent for us to be held do. We just want the software to be awesome because WE USE IT.

And we're glad you use it with us 🤘

Let's not kid ourselves. The #lobbyists have been hard at work, making deals and targeting audiences.

When it comes to #ClimateDenial, nothing beats shooting narratives straight into the living room, where the entire #family can be #misinformed.

This is often why I say #parents should run their own #jellyfin and curate the family's media diet regarding films and series.
