Yeah, jellyfin isn’t much better in that regard. I just have sonarr and radarr managing this.

Even if you don’t use them to download your media, you can still add your existing media and import everything, and have them organise it automatically. You pretty much only have to search for and add every show/movie you have manually, iirc.

Once you find rpmfusion, working with non-open-source packages becomes a lot easier. It includes libraries for x265 HEVC for example, and they have tutorials that are usually pretty helpful.

Oh yeah and apparently you can’t stream remotely without a subscription either? If it were a feature they had to spend time on I’d still not want to use it, but I’d understand at least.

From the application’s point of view, there is no difference between internet and intranet access. I just saw that downloading the media you already own, using your own infrastructure, requires an even more expensive subscription.

How tf did people stick around with this shit for so long.

I tried Plex once, before I knew about jellyfin. I just wanted an open-source self-hostable media server with my own media.

When I tried it, after installing Plex, I was presented with a login for a Plex hosted account. Iirc that was optional and I skipped it, after that came the nags for Plex pass. Piss off. That’s exactly the opposite of what I wanted out of something like jellyfin.

Localsend doesn’t automatically sync files between devices does it? Afaik you can only send files as a manual thing you have to do for every file. They’re intended for different things.
