You can link up an OpenSubtitles and Subscene account to automatically pull down subtitles as they get added to your library. I see from the UI banner on the page there's a toggle for Forced, I assume I can filter by this and only grab Forced subs? I don't usually like watching with subs except for non-English.

I have a strange Plex issue, which is more of an annoyance than anything else but I'd like to resolve it. Setup: Plex is running on a Synology NAS within a docker container, and works perfectly 99% of the time. Playback is on an LG TV using the built-in application. Problem: When watching some Linux ISOs the ability to rewind/fastfwd/skip does not work. This issue mainly seems to occur on British ISOs, but i can't see any common factor between the problematic files. Note, i can use the same files on the Plex web player or on the iOS app and this problem does not occur.

I have seen this on a similar class of files on the TiVo plex app (same ancient smart TV code base I believe) I have found that if I pause, then skip back 10 sec with the directional arrow, most of the time it restarts the stream properly.

Any correlation between the problem files and transcoding? If working files are direct play and these files are being transcoded, depending on your settings you might be overwriting the transcoded files too quickly to have a history to rewind back to.

Nope everything is Direct Play. In fact if i force it to transcode then seeking works ok but causes lots of buffering.

Chillmatic posted:https://www.lowpass.cc/p/plex-store-movies-tv-shows-tvod-vod I've been running Jellyfin in parallel for a couple of years now. It's getting decent enough to compete with plex from 2021 or so. Which is good enough I guess. https://github.com/luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched works real well to sync watched/unwatched between the two so switching back and forth isn't so painful.

They've had the same UI forever and it would be nice to see that change. Are there any other sources on this? I've never heard of that and seems odd they make you subscribe to find out more.

Emby as an alternative removed their 45 device lifetime option, so all options to expand past the lifetime 25 devices are now subscriptions. They recently announced they would have "exciting news in the coming days" which almost certainly will include the long in development 4.8 release being pushed to stable, but could come along with other changes.

Change for the sake of change is unwanted by most people who are using something as a tool, especially when that tool is pretty much feature complete and mature for the job they're doing with it. There is nothing I can think of that really warrants a full UI redesign for the functionality I use on plex and it's likely to be a huge disruption and hassle for the lower tech family members many of us share our servers with. If it's bad enough it may be the time to switch them to Jellyfin.

I just fired up the Jellyfin server flatpak on my desktop and it... looks pretty similar to Plex? I use Tailscale to remote watch anyway, so I'm not really getting much out of the Plex lifetime outside of transcoding. I tried turning on hardware transcoding and tried to get it to use my 3080 to take 4K down to 1080p and it struggled, but that's probably because I don't have jellyfin-ffmpeg and christ only knows what GPU access the flatpak has, even when I set it up for acceleration in Flatseal. Anyway, just dicking around made me confident that when Plex finishes selling out, it'll take about an hour to move my actual Plex machine over to Jellyfin.

 DISCLAIMER: I'm trying to do all of these things on a calculator from 2010 that needs to run on a D cell battery Jellyfin may be interacting poorly with ZFS, and maybe btrfs. Somebody last week posted in the issue I've been working with Jellyfin that there's a potential tremendous bottleneck related to the page size on the underlying filesystem interacting spectacularly badly with sqlite. The poster mentioned ZFS specifically, but it's possible my btrfs has the same issue. The full writeup and fix is in issue 2600. You might not see much of a problem if you're using a Real Computer That Is Capable Of Doing Real Things. But still, it might be worth looking into: no sense throwing CPU cycles away for no reason. cruft fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jan 19, 2024 |

That may be an/the issue, but whether it is actually the one or just another symptom (of poor threadiness?) is absolutely an open question. I have 24 cores assigned to my VM with plex and jellyfin and JF has basically never gotten over 100% on a library scan (usually at 68%) while plex will happily consume 1600% or more routinely when doing these types of operations. This would be fine if it just took longer to do background tasks, but what's happening is devastating interactive usage from the web interface and all clients. This looks like some of the same: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/6906 While any of this nonsense is happening Plex is absolutely fine and responsive.

Gosh darn it, now I'm going to have to set up Jellyfin again and do more tests. I reckon my weird setup is just about ideal for making this problem show up in a super obvious way. I did verify that at least the recursive directory walk code isn't triggering thread exhaustion, though. Thread exhaustion may be happening, but if it is, it's not due to directory depth.

I'm really resisting moving away from Plex even though it's increasingly time to at least start preparing. But I loving HATE dealing with the dipshit morons with god complexes that run open source projects. You don't have to be a douche to eveyone, dude. You don't have to.

We all like Plex, and there's a consensus that it's going to get crappy somehow, so we're all just waiting for that shoe to drop. Nothing to realistically worry about just yet. Maybe this won't even be the thing that kills it. But most of us seem to think that *something* will, someday.

Nettle Soup posted:Can I just.. Not update? The curve on these things is usually, yes, at first, and then as tech moves on that becomes more of a sacrifice until you're just tethered to a software corpse. Unfortunately Plex is very insistent on keeping itself connected to home base which could complicate or speed up the decline based on the company's future decisions. Ultimately it's software of convenience and when it stops being that it is time to move on unless you have 'vested interests'.

For like the last few years there's always been something added to Plex that seems to put everyone in a state of doom and gloom, but so far none of those "features" have done anything egregious enough to make me abandon the platform. Maybe it'll happen eventually, but I'm again apathetic to this recent bit of news.

I think this is just another revenue stream, just like the ad supported videos they have now. They are a business that is looking to generate new revenue. I'm not worried.
