Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

        Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!

          Not really. I bought Plex for $100 13 years ago.

          Do you know how much time that saved vs fucking around with xbmc trying to get plugin to work and the media scanner to be consistent?

          It was worth every penny and saved me hundreds of hours fucking around with libraries to scan in anime because it doesn’t follow the proper s01e01 format.

            Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?

              Oh, and was that software available in 2013? No? Right, you are just throwing shit against the wall because someone pointed out that Plex was the best software we had, for a reasonable price, for 10 years or so.

                You’re the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn’t mentioned explicitly but I meant it

                  always worth the extra effort

                  Here I am thinking always means past, present, and future. What a fucking idiot I am 🤦‍♂️.

              Jellyfin wasn’t even around when I bought Plex. I don’t even think emby was and if it was it was nowhere near as good. So yes Plex has served me well over the years. I am worried about it’s future so have jellyfin all set up in parallel but it still has some show stopper bugs for me to totally migrate over.

            My dude if it’s taking hundreds of hours to get Kodi set up for you that’s a you problem. I’ve paid 0$ for Kodi XBMC or jellyfin over the past forever.

                Yeah no. I’ve been installing Kodi since it was XBMC and you needed to break out 007 Nightfire to softmod the original Xbox. Working XBMC /Kodi has been easy from the start. It’s practically unchanged UX since those early days.

                  👌👍🤣

                  Xbmc plugins were garbage and the media scanner was garbage. You people are just forgetting how bad xbmc was, especially if you had it set up with something like sabnbdz which regularly would screw up wherever regex matching they were doing.

      If i could get HW accelleration to work with Jellyfin, like it does in Plex, I would switch yesterday.

        Works fine for me via VAAPI on Linux using /dev/dri/renderD128. What OS are you using?

          Hmm appears that I got it working by trying again. It was something about adding group to my docker compose file that did the trick. Thank you for motivation. 4K HDR is working now!

          Next issue, Swiftfin for Apple TV needs quite a bit of polish, for instance I can’t change the subtitles within the player. But perhaps I should pay for Infuse until I feel it’s there.

          I’d be quite satisfactory to not support Plex anymore.

            Ah yes, I do remember something about certain distros limiting access to /dev/dri/renderD128, so maybe adding the group gave the docker process the necessary permissions? I am not sure, just making guesses right now. Super glad you got it working though!

            Yeah, this is definitely one of the areas Jellyfin needs to catch up on. Their app support is a bit buggy, if not entirely unavailable on certain SmartTV platforms. Definitely an adjustment. I use the Jellyfin chromecast app, and its also buggy with subtitles. Every time I seek, the subtitles get duplicated. I am sure this will all get ironed out over time.

              It was definitely linked to Debian, which was something I missed first time around. And not something that needed doing for my Plex instance.

              I’ve tried Infuse now and I am very happy with it. It appears very polished, even compared to Plex.

        What’s the problem? I gave it GPU access and it just worked. Given Jellyfin is a fork, it shouldn’t be too different

          The fact that this comment - offering nothing - got the upvotes, while the three comments trying troubleshoot are not tells me everything I need to know about this community

            It’s probably just because they posted earlier and some people haven’t seen the newer comments. The other comments are now starting to get upvotes. I wouldn’t place too much emphasis on the voting as a means of measuring a community’s worth anyways.
