I’m curious.

@caseyliss Used to have plex but switched to Jellyfin when I wanted to add remote access. It is working well enough that I will stick with it unless something changes.

@caseyliss Long time Plex user. I keep trying alternatives from time to time, but for now, I find the Plex tvOS app to be the more intuitive and stable one of them all.

[niclake@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss Currently investigating this for myself. Plex is where I started, but I was quickly redirected to Jellyfin.

@caseyliss STFP server feeding into InFuse.

@caseyliss If it wouldn’t be blocked at Hetzner I’d run Plex, but now I’m using Jellyfin which is find but the apps (Especially tvOS) are not there yet.

@caseyliss Infuse with plain SMB.

[digitalpardoe@social.lol]

@caseyliss I like it to be available on all devices, to non-technical family members who I don’t live with - so Plex without question.

@caseyliss Plex on Synology but playback via Infuse cos for some unfindable reason, Plex says the (gigabit Ethernet!) connection to the 4K ATV is “too slow to play this content” even for 720p h265 files. Infuse has no issues. So weird. Gave up debugging years ago. Luckily Infuse syncs with Plex libraries.

@ronmccoy @caseyliss *whispers* jellyfin:)

[troldann@techhub.social]

@caseyliss I use SMB file sharing and then the client that I primarily use, Kodi (formerly XBMC) does its own content management. It doesn't sync across devices because each client is independent, but since I only use it with the one device it's perfect for me.

I would use Plex, but it doesn't have features I consider must-have. Like the ability to retime audio sync while playing back. Or automatic display of Forced subtitles while subtitles are disabled. (Plex wants you to turn on a separate subtitle track that only has the forced subtitles in it, Kodi looks for Forced subtites in the normal subtitle track and displays them. Much more "Just Works" for me.)

@caseyliss rip my Squeezebox

@caseyliss I use Plex, but I LOVE Channels DVR!

[lo_fye@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss 16TB Plex, verrrrry full.

[jadedtwin@corteximplant.com]

@caseyliss Jellyfin has been ideal for me! Zero regrets

@caseyliss
Video: NAS Samba Share + Infuse
Audiobooks: Audiobookshelf + plappa

[geraint@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss Jellyfin + Infuse. I mention because technically Infuse doesn’t need a media server back end as it can manage libraries directly from a file share.

[nicholasadeleon@mastodon.social]

@caseyliss Plex since 2008!
