honestly for my purposes, jellyfin is more than enough. Does everything I want. Even got the icons of the series I watch implemented in the player

I miss when you could use something without it turning into spyware. Jellyfin it is then.

It's interesting to see the different kind of comments here and on Redshit.

Here, people are smart and they are switching to Jellyfin. On Redshit, if people mention Jellyfin in a comment they get downvoted right away.

I can imagine this data would sell for quite a bit of money. Networks love to winge about how much they lose to piracy
