Luka ManestarI'm just gonna put this here... there. Happy Friday!

coldclimateI <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/selfhost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhost</a> a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> instance and then stream from it out to a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/roku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roku</a> box on my TV. Sometimes streams are really glitchy and it feels like network traffic (it's not transcoding being resource limited anyway). Is it possible the traffic is going out too the internet and back in? Surely not?

noplasticshowerPretty pleased with how much better PlexAmp is than the old Plex app for streaming my own music pile. Much better client. It has an improved android auto interface too.Having your own music server has never been more fun!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streaming</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a>

Zachary Cutlipoh and evidently it just crashes on like half of my fucking library <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a>

Zachary CutlipOh god the new <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> iPad app is atrociousThe “home” tab which is the default view doesn’t show *any* of my own content. It’s all Plex’s bargain bin streaming content which I never ever watch, and thought I had turned off for my profile

ShawnT 🐀God damnit, the <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> app updated and now it's getting prissy about how old my server is. Screw me, right?

Root MooseSeeing some noise about changes to Plex's subscription policy today. I'm out of the loop since converting to Jellyfin so not sure if there was an actual change or not.Anyway...The purpose of this message is to reassure Plex users that are considering switching to Jellyfin that it is worth the change.I used a lifetime Plex Pass for something like 10+ years. I switched to Jellyfin about six months ago.I have zero regrets.Every little change to Plex in the last ~five years has been abrasive to the user. One thing that really bothered me was using their centralized sign-in mechanisms. For a locally hosted library why do I need to auth using something off-site, especially when I'm at a remote, low bandwidth site that has intermittent connectivity... and this causes issues. I get it, some of their auto-magic remote access features more or less requires this - still don't like.What really put a sour taste for me was realizing they are farming usage data. Yeah, eff that noize.Jellyfin can be a little rough around the edges at times. The UX is not at the same level as Plex. You know what though, this many months in I don't even notice any more. It is perfectly adequate and in the absence of Plex would probably be considered best in class.Also, Jellyfin is noticeably improving release over release. I notice little tweaks here and there that make it nicer and there has been good improvements in the speed of the backend. A year ago Jellyfin was basically unusable for my large library. Now speed is a non-issue.Embrace Jellyfin plugins. They are very helpful for meta data and tagging. Migrating my library was mostly painless. There were a dozen or so assets that needed manual intervention and when investigating it was like "how did this even work under Plex?".Hope this is the "pep talk" needed to give Jellyfin a try. <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/SOHO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SOHO</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/SelfHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfHost</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

1hitsongReminder, <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> 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 <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> 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 🤘

Jack BrewsterJust got this email from <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a>. Seems like something they should have sent EOD on a Friday.“As of April 29, 2025, we’re changing how remote streaming works for personal media libraries, and it will no longer be a free feature on Plex. Going forward, you’ll need a Plex Pass, or our newest subscription offering, Remote Watch Pass, to stream personal media remotely.”I’m not currently using Plex so this doesn’t affect me, but I will take a moment to mention <a href="https://mastodon.online/@jellyfin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jellyfin</a>.

Mike McCaffreyA perfect example from <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> of <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> as originally defined by <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a>, which is not just a product getting worse due to incompetence or bad product decisions, but rather services giving you low-cost or free features to get you hooked, but then raising prices and degrading the service on purpose to squeeze a profit out of your dependence.<a href="https://drupal.community/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a>

Ruth / AnarchaeWow, Plex is making remote access a paid feature. I was already planning on switching to Jellyfin and have the local VPN set up now so don't need to allow Plex remote access, but that's a bold move. <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a>

Rachel Wil Singh ~ Moos-a-deePlex just emailed me to tell me that they're going to start charging for a "Remote Watch Pass" in order to watch stuff off friends' Plex servers.Nah, I don't care THAT much about TV, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a>

Jack DethWELCOME to BAD MOVIE CLUB!!In 2025, I’m trying to watch ALL of the ‘amazing’ films from FULL MOON, so I’m choosing three a month from the list. If you want to watch them and discuss them, you can find most of them for free these days on sites like <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/tubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tubi</a> and <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a>. Expand this post to see this month’s selections.Use hashtag <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/MastodonBadMovieClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastodonBadMovieClub</a> (or <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/MBMC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MBMC</a>) and remember: The only BAD movie is a BORING movie. These <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/FullMoonFeatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FullMoonFeatures</a> films are NOT boring.<a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/FilmMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FilmMastodon</a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/CineMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CineMastodon</a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movies</a>

KadinSo after entirely too much screwing around, I tried the plain ol' Debian apt repository version of Handbrake with libdvdcss (via libdvd-pkg), and although it wouldn't work on my desktop, it worked fine on an old laptop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯So now the kid can watch Bob The Builder's 2003 direct-to-DVD masterpiece, "The Knights of Fixalot", without me having to buy a Goodwill DVD player for this one disc.That said, the Goodwill solution would have likely been a lot faster…<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/DVD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DVD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

MiakodaAlrighty, nuke strike on this <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> server. Right now, I have it booted in a read only state to a GUI to grab some stuff from the drives that will get overwritten. Scripts, Cron, some supporting video files, tuner firmware, things like that. I am open to things you think I might not have thought to grab before I nuke this thing. All the actual content itself is on raid arrays that SHOULDN'T get overwritten. I hate not having enough backup space

Ashley CaveDays like today seem good to encourage people to purchase and own their music.Aside from the benefit that you're not dependent on another service, you can also support artists, labels, record stores etc. too by purchasing from them, rather than huge platforms paying out a pittance while raking profits.And managing and playing a digital collection doesn't need to be complicated, I've been using <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a> for years now, and there's other services you can use too, take your pick.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spotify</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SpotifyDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpotifyDown</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a>
