I want to love Kodi but God damn is it user unfriendly a lot of the time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I used Kodi for some years but immediately switched to Jellyfin as soon as I tried it. Basically Plex without the proprietary cloud service.

Downgrading your service to offer a worse user experience than piracy you say?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago

To shreds you say?

"We're raising prices and inserting ads!"
"I've been pirating your shows for years!"

Do people not prefer Plex anymore?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Jellyfin is the new plex

Combine it with sonarr, radar, jackett and qBitTorrent and it's incredibly easy to get a new show or movie

I feel like a wizard being able to add a movie to jellyfin for my mom in minutes

Also love that new episodes auto download!

I really want(ed) to look into the *darr projects, but I don't want to give them write permissions to my NAS :/

The one thing I hate about sonarr is how difficult it is to get series that are already finished.

Omni with Radarr is braindead easy, but sonarr requires I go ask it to download each season, and sometimes it'll just download individual episodes, and then many of those are dead torrents because most people are seeding the whole season

Jellyseerr seems to take care of that issue for me

This didn't help

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the info.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That depends on your goal. If you want something free, open source and self-hosted then Plex isn’t the best option and you’d do better to look at Jellyfin or Kodi.

Yo where's my boy Jellyfin

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Love Jellyfin and kiddos have noticed how much better it is; they often request older stuff they've heard about that's not available elsewhere

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How about Jellyfin server, synced with Kodi for playing on the TV?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I use jellyfin on my TV too. No kodi needed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (14 children)

I head the Jellyfin apps aren't great. However I admit to never testing them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

My users don't run into problems, before Roku was annoying

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (4 children)

The Android TV one is really good IMO

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

No issues here. I'm using it right now.

WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It's so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.

Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it's a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Last I checked, they didn't support my webos version without me doing the developer mode trick, but my Nvidia shield/ Jellyfin for Android TV works like a charm

Stremio

Oh. Something I need to go figure out. Is it good?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

With good seeding it works like a charm. Else you need some seedbox kind of thing..

Add torrentio and don't look back.

Very good and much easier to setup than Kodi due to the add-ons being cloud based vs locally downloaded. I still recommend learning Kodi as a more reliable backup. The torrentio addon for Stremio goes down on occasion for a few hours which can happen at inconvenient times. Lately it's been pretty stable though.

Having both set up and synced with trakt is recommended.

Sorry for the reddit link but this is a great guide for Stremio. Beautiful thing is you can set it up on any device and all you have to do for any future device is sign in. All add-ons are cloud sources that save your settings to your account. https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/15agu2p/stremio_torrentio_debrid_a_howto_guide/
