  • For the record, I fucking hate Plex.

    But this is a disingenuous simplification of where the gap is.

    Me, my brother-in-law, and friend all share our libraries with the same elderly relatives.

    The GAP is that great grandma has to log in/out between servers to find content that may or may not be on an individual server. Plex lets you search/aggregate from all sources without having to jockey credentials and servers.

    It’s not a giant ask. I heard a fucking absolutely brain-dead take that “that would require a centralized server which is against Jellyfins core ideology”.

    So, I dunno. Maybe it isn’t YOUR use case, but it’s MY use case. Doesn’t make me a shill. I’m still pissed as hell.

    But don’t fucking pretend that there is feature parity when there isn’t, and don’t accuse me of being a shill just because Jellyfin literally doesn’t support my use case. I WISH it did. I HATE PLEX.





  • I’m having a hard time finding the link to the poll itself…

    But I suspect that the poll had distinct categories for “strongly oppose” and “oppose”.

    So either the article is lumping the two responses together (which would be shitty because they explicitly say “strongly”) or it’s likely that the number of Canadians who are open to it is <20.

    From previous polling I’ve seen, it was around 13% who were open to it. Not even saying they would, but merely open to the idea.
