I can't disable transcoding globally, I have to mess with horrible config menus on every client I want to use. Library scans take more than 30 minutes on my i7-4790k NAS - after that I just stopped and removed the jellyfin server from it. Just being open source is not enough. Once it starts working as a user-first app I'll gladly switch over.

It's a hammer in search of nails. If you don't want transcoding it simply doesn't work. It's nice that it exists and works for some people, but I despise 'solutions' that have no reason to exist except the devs needing an excuse to do thins they like. If jellyfin had a normal, regular, honest and simple option to just turn off transcoding I'd probably switch to it (even if the library scan process takes days instead of seconds). I don't want to transcode anything ever, I use things in my lan, my devices can play all of the formats in my librabry - this is like archiving and unpacking every single file I move around on my pc.

Now plex is not opensource freeware nice things - it does what I tell it to do. That's about it

Nah man, the Luddites weren't against technological progress, they were against the ruling class fucking us over. So I guess that goes for the terminal that needs a user account

This is a very strange take. Youtube is becoming shit all by itself, it doesn't need help. And it's amazing that you value Rossman so highly, one man who made Google do something

It's really shitty. My isp offers a static ip plan but it costs a lot more, so I try using tailscale and it works ok. It's a shame though
