Even most people hosting at home, which is already an incredibly small bubble, have only the default upload of something like 40Mbit which is more than plenty for internet usage and thus the only thing most providers supply, since people favour download speeds. You usually have to specifically order increased uploads speed, which not enough people do to build something that could serve as an alternative to youtube

The usual household has nowhere near the upload capacity to meaningfully stream videos.

How about you don’t go saturating some poor sods public WiFi that he is kind enough to provide to his customers? Cheapskate

They are fictional

Don’t forget light pollution that wrecks peoples and animals biorythms

Have a look at Qualityland, it has (satirical) ads in it. The whole thing is a comment on consumerism

destroying genuine grass-roots causes and spreading astroturfing to hinder popular movements, unions,…

In my city there is a public vote planned for an ad free cityscape and all of a sudden i see adverts claiming that only adverts keep stuff like Soup kitchens or other charities in the publics focus and how good ads are in public space. It’s a goddamn disease

Sure, after you’ve waded through the swamp of Roku ads, you could get an adfree youtube experience with that

Yeah, but I shouldn’t need to make rooms for that if I don’t want it. It should only be downloaded once I have activated in settings.

You have it the wrong way around. () around the link and [] around the text -> Test123:
I guess I mean you could train ai to do the work so you don’t have to monitor it 24/7

Lol, that Jellyfin needs a 3rd party plugin for intro detection says a lot about the maturity of the project. Also, there are other Frontends for plex

I have a Jellyfin instance running in parallel to check out its progress, but its just not there yet for me.

What do you mean with extensible? The plugin ‘shop’?

developers are a “resource” and they need to be paid. Do you want to keep getting updates for your server? Someone needs to do that and that someone wants to be paid in this case

Should have clarified. It’s not an option if you want to use it to get content that is not in english. For german content for example, you need access to german private trackers which you only get with a good torrenting record in addition to catching the exceedingly rare opportunities to get an invite.

And if you buy the lifetime now, you might actually get it on sale. Just create an account and wait a few days, usually you get a sale offer

Client Support is way better, Hardware transcoding is more reliable and easier to set up (as in you don’t have to in Plex), UI/UX is better (if you can live with removing Plex’ stuff once from your homescreen), that also means the settings, which I find convoluted in Jellyfin. The media matching is way worse and I won’t go through thousands of folder to rename them just because Jellyfin only accepts one singular way to name things

Not an option everywhere outside the states. I mostly have to do that by hand

Their revenue stream is based on license fees for the software? So if they want to keep the lights on they need money

Dito. Every discussion I’ve seen, people were acting like Plex is already dead. This will basically change nothing for most people
