  • X is super simple, you just gotta understand how X works.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe that’s the point. 😆 That understanding it is the hard part.

    I love these people who are like “no no, X is easy, because I understand it.”

    If course you think it’s easy — you understand it already







  • Why are still trying to blame this on the user, lol?

    If the user has to do more work for the same result, it’s a worse system. Period.

    That’s it. 🤷‍♂️

    To go into more detail:

    How did I choose to ignore instructions when I didn’t read them in the first place? Neither system’s installation instructions has this in it. You’d have to deep dive when you realize it doesn’t work for one of them. Namely Jellyfin.

    “Choosing” to ignore it is also a matter of definition. If I rename all my shit, I am a) duplicating lots of downloads on my system because I need to keep the original in order to seed, or b) not able to seed and lose my ability to gain more content in the first place.

    Sometimes people’s circumstances are different from yours, my friend.

    I understand Jellyfin is better in so many other aspects, I agree with that, but do not defend one single feature which works objectively worse and pin it on the user. Don’t be that person.


  • Unless some is already familiar with plex, they probably won’t find your different language version.

    I don’t have this issue, but I agree it could be easier to see which version you are playing. I think it’s supposed to be very different quality versions, so one would be like 4K, then 1080p, then maybe 720p. But when you have one English 4K and one Nordic 4K, is a 50-50 guessing game. It’s easy to switch once you start playing though.

    Still better than Jellyfin though, in this particular regard.




  • If you deviate from it, that’s on you.

    I don’t understand why we need to “pin it” on someone?

    It just works differently, in a way that requires more hands-on work, as opposed to no hands-on work. So it’s objectively worse. That’s “on me”?

    It being in the docs is irrelevant in this context. It could’ve been there or not. But the fact that I need to do extra work as opposed to not makes Plex more comfortable in this regard, and I don’t see how that’s up for debate.

    If Jellyfin had done it’s duplication check on identified movie IDs instead of filesystem names, we would be in a different situation. But they don’t, and here we are.

    I’m not ragging on Jellyfin, I’m just pointing out facts. Not even an opinion piece.
