  • No, that is counter intuitive. It may appear more expensive at first, but on the long run it is a lot more cheaper. It avoid vendor lock-in, recurring increase of dev costs and licensing and lots of other plagues of closed proprietary development like blackbox development and justification of hidden complexity as a driving factor on costs. I worked with legacy closed proprietary sw development and lock-in combined with legacy complexity made man-hour costs exorbitant. These are partially solved by open-sourcing, as kicking out a team and putting a new one is easier, but most importantly transparency as a driving factor on quality of development.


  • https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/4346

    Lol at people down voting without a clue.

    Anyway, that issue is 1 year old, and subtitles for some reason just keep getting worse with each update. It is not being taken seriously.

    It is so easy to reproduce that there must be something more involved to it, explaining why some people dont have the issue.

    I tested and validated with these clients: web, roku, android, android-tv, fire and LG

    All have the same issue. So maybe some combination of factors with server.

    The bugs are different depending on the media, sometimes delayed subtitles and most of times no subtitles at all. Also, trying to switch subtitles to other languages sometimes just dont take effect unless the playback is restarted. Anyway, it is baraly usable.


  • I really like Jellyfin and push for it, but since last release, it became barely usable. Unfortunately, it made me and all my users switch to Plex again. Where they preferred to buy the respective Plex clients instead of dealing with Jellyfin issues. It is sad, it could be money donated to Jellyfin at some time.

    Seriously, if Jellyfin doesn’t fix all subtitles issues with their clients, it will be really hard to be taken as a serious competitor in the area. I hope they take this issue seriously and fix it asap before further damage to the project happens.



  • First, good job. Looks very good and feels snappy. So high potential player in the ecosystem. So here a quick feedback after a few minutes using this:

    1. when exiting the “home screen” that contains some albums, trying to get back to the same screen with same content is impossible. Getting back to “albums” screen has different content, alphabetically sorted.

    2. I’ve been looking for a player with proper “preferred” management and features. This app let’s us mark an album as preferred (heart), but not sure what it does here. But what I really miss in a player, is a way to mark preferred individual tracks and then to see all these tracks and be able to use that as a giant playlist that we can play in sequence or randomly. Please consider this feature and your app will be already more featured packed and useful than any other jellyfin player out there.


  • mine was really sluggish for a long time, then I saw someone in here explaining their similar issue and their fix. I don’t have the post link, but it was related to DNS settings. Basically for some reason using my pihole dns made only nextcloud sluggish, the fix suggestion was to use 1.1.1.1, which worked. Now, it is a pretty fast nextcloud.


  • Awesome and thanks a lot for putting the time to explain it like this.

    So for some reason I got side tracked with radarr and didn’t see the need for trackt anywhere, but that seems the missing part on all this.

    This also shows up that the Plex workflow is seamless (no Overseerr/jellyseerr need, no trackt need) than jellyfin right now.

    Reading plex_debrid code, it seems it has some initial code on scanning current Jellyfin library, so finishing that code could remove the need of Trackt.

    Now, one advantage of using Radarr ia that it will move and rename to a standad naming the incoming files, I think that only for this feature it is worth to keep it in the workflow.

    So it seems like I’ll need to fix plex_debrid to understand existing Jellyfin library and remove the need of trackt!

    Thanks a lot!


  • Interesting. I installed here but I may be doing something wrong with my setup, because just using Jellyseerr is not triggering a RD download. First, using jellyseer required radarr anyway, the setup is like following:

    1. Jellyseer request a movie/show, put that request via radarr
    2. radarr will try search for a torrent via indexers (not working right now)
    3. Download via Black Hole Torrent, which is basically monitoring plex_debrid folders

    Still, not working as things aren’t communicating with each other correctly and I didn’t set any indexers (or set jackett).

    My setup feels wrong or too complex, can you give a bit more of details on yours? How the parts communicate? :)
