IDK, the second half of that first sentence sounds like a good thing, and long overdue

It didn’t say subscription-based, but more power to you.

Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.

I thought their implication was that they would use the WebUI for downloading videos for offline watching later. Beyond that, I don’t really know or care; Their suggestion was weird to me, but I took it at face value and replied accordingly.

I didn’t say I’m satisfied. I just think this comment-section about Plex’s rug-pull isn’t the place for such niche criticism of Jellyfin.

I mean, I bought the Lifetime Plexpass when it was on sale years back, so I have little reason to change my own setup, but I still have even less reason to stan them at Jellyfin’s expense.

Seriously, one is a paid service executing rug-pulls, and the other is a free and open-source project. This level of nit-picking at Jellyfin is a shit stance to take.

Your regular friends are constantly using your Plex server to download files for offline viewing, eh?

I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You’re in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can’t be bothered to do it themselves.

I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.

Don’t ask me? I’ll ftp before I’ll WebUI like so, but for online viewing, I’ll take streaming please. My kids, wife, and mother-in-law find that a million times more convenient.

Meanwhile, there’s a dude in these comments hating on the notion that Jellyfin’s app will download the Raw file for offline viewing purposes. Please, do not ask me to pretend to care what is going on in that person’s head. In my world, using VLC to play my files is a perk. Gimme that yummy 2x or slow-mo as I see fit, please.

Oh no! Please GOD, anything but tHe rAw fIlE!!

Seriously though, wtf did I just read? That can’t possibly be your real stance, can it?

No idea what Flatpak is, much? Jellyfin is open-source. If your distro isn’t providing you a .deb or tarball to your liking, that’s not on the Jellyfin project.

I want to hate that you’re right, but what I really hate any more is all the surprised butthurt that will surely be coming for your comment before long. Country and Party full of Ostriches at work.

He tried to be a headache for Disney. He accomplished, really, nothing of note. The worst he could do to Disney would just fuck over his state.

That’s what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.

There’s hard truth, and there are people fixated on celebrity gossip. The latter contributes nothing to the former.

I Subscribe nearly every community I see come up on c/newcommunities(On which instance you say? My answer: YES, to any instance that has a /newcommunities, I’ve subscribed all of them that I am aware of), never touch /all, and still find myself able to answer any and all questions like OP’s when they aren’t relating to irrelavent or indeschipherable garbage-topics. That’s the hard truth.

I’m just trying to save you from eye-rot. If the concern of others bothers you, that’s not my problem.

This post was the first I’ve seen about it on Lemmy, or anywhere. Who are you people who haven’t realized the cancer that is /all, whether here or that other place?
