Looking for some #Plex library advice:
I want to have both the subtitled and dubbed version of a show, but I want to keep them separate and not have Plex merge them, because they are very... very different shows.
Aside from putting them in entirely different libraries or doing some manual parsing magic, are there any good ways to keep two different versions of the same show from entangling with one another?
Worth a read through if you’re a #plex user or server operator. https://fosstodon.org/@shollyethan/114240150817385919

Streamyfin begins #plex #jellyfin #streaming
Fredrik Burmester ville bara göra en liten streaming-app. Det visade sig vara fler som ville ha stöd för nedladdning och Chromecast.

Was shared the update from #Plex about updating their pricing model this morning. I've been happily using a Plex server without paying for Plex Pass (mainly stream music, don't do a lot of video) but now I'm tempted to get a Lifetime pass before the price increases, since I figured I was eventually going to buy it as I continue to migrate more content over to it. Feels like a bit of a gamble to lock into a single service but as long as I have control over the actual content then I can sleep easy.
#workfromhome vs the office has certain perks like blasting the music I want as loud as I want without using headphones because my “taste in music is …..” (what does that even mean?!)
But if I want to stay away from the HR radar I have to be compassionate (so they say), and all that :)
@highway2009 @sponkae yeah, #plex feels like a trap right now, they centralise auth, gather data of what you watch, and are cozying up with the studios more and more.
I moved to #jellyfin a few months ago and it’s totally stand alone with no features behind a paywall.
I’ve seen Mastodon, Pixelfed devs and admins have to repeatedly ask for help with the costs for creating and running things and getting grief when they do so. It’s a particular bugbear of mine, that people can’t undertstand someone, somewhere along the line is forking out money to support what they take for granted and for free! Whoever cracks micropayments for FOSS that are fast, safe and secure will change the Internet for us all. /end #Plex #Jellyfin
It’s been a journey with them but Plex is an intrinsic part of my set up. The company’s financial model was prob unsustainable especially with the low cost of a Lifetime Pass which I think cost me £79 back in the day. In the last year we saw layoffs and a strategic rethink after some missteps. It was at this time I set up Jellyfin as a just in case option. We have to figure out better ways to support software devs. It costs money to make things. Devs shouldn’t need to beg! /2 #Plex #Jellyfin
I say this as someone who has both #Plex and #Jellyfin set up on my server. I am beyond tired of the overreactions and at times childish bloviating to Plex changing their pricing and free offering this past week. I’ve used Plex for 12 years. It was free to download and install. Allowed me to watch my DVD/Blurays without having to swap out disks. Game changer. I then purchased a Plex Lifetime Pass to help support the software. They struggled at first with 4K but now very solid and reliable. /1
In the wake of #Plex's plans to grossly overcharge people for lifetime subs to their service, I checked out #Jellyfin again - this is maybe the third or fourth time round for me. Still a disappointment and not something that will ever replace Plex for me, unfortunately. Subtitles can't be set to override placement or style. Show/movie pauses when you jump forward and is slow to restart when you manually do so. It's so unpolished after the Plex experience that I almost physically winced. Sigh.
