Screw it. I’ve been putting off moving over to Jellyfin for too long. Now it’s the time.

I installed it this morning and have been setting things up. It’s nice. A few little UI features are missing, and the playlist functionality is kinda buggy (it doesn’t show playlists I’ve created). But just minor things.

I’m really disappointed in Plex. They started out with one main goal: to share and play media. And they did that well. Then they jumped on the ‘complete system’ bandwagon and the enshitification ramped up. I don’t need yet another Netflix-type streaming service with rentals and shit! I just want a way to play my local media collection and share it with a few family members! You should have stayed in your lane instead of getting greedy and trying to copy everyone else, Plex!

Edit: The playlist issue was resolved by restarting Jellyfin. It wasn’t showing them until I restarted, but it had found so the existing m3u playlists I already had and loaded them in. And so it was rooting out because a playlist with that name already existed. The home screen customization isn’t as good as Plex, and the music cataloging sucks at the same level as Plex. But in general so far I’m impressed with Jellyfin. So long Plex!

Ahh yes, a true representative of the people! 🥴

I can believe this. She seemed frustrated when she spoke about the Palestine situation, and I picked up a strong subject that she wanted to say more about her objections over Israel’s actions than she did.
