Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 20 hours agoBecause Jellyfin is an ugly, duct taped together mess. It’s very utilitarian at best, when everything is working. Ease of use is just not there for your non-technical friends and family.
Not that I want to disagree with you, and I have never used Plex. But I was shocked how polished and easy Jellyfin is for an open source project when I used it the first time. It feels like a very mature piece of software to me. My gf really loves it.
I agree setting up tailscale for remote access was a bit of a learning curve though.
I mean sure it would seem polished if that’s the one one you’ve ever used and have no point of reference lol
I don’t think that is how it works. I don’t necessarily need a reference to tell something is a good or a bad product. I have never said that Jellyfin is more polished than Plex is, just that my impreession is contadictionary to yours of Jellyfin being a duct-taped mess. No idea why you would argue against another persons obviously subjective opinion?
I’m not saying you don’t think it’s polished, I’m saying that if Jellyfin is where you set the bar for what “polished” means to you, then the rest of the open source world is going to blow your mind.
Jellyfin being a duct taped mess on the other hand isn’t part of any subjective opinion, that’s just the state the software is in.

That’s subjective. I’ve never had an issue with it, neither has my wife or son or the couple of friends who use my media.

I wouldn’t call it subjective. The issues that it has are all objectively there, whether or not you’re bothered by them is what’s subjective.

I didn’t know this was going to trigger so many people. lol. People paid money and are trying to justify their purchases. Good for everyone who uses it. I’ll continue using my “ugly, duct-taped-together mess” jellyfin I guess since I have zero issues with it and I don’t go out of my way to find “bugs” and “missing features” to just point out some things plex has that jellyfin lacks. Eh, it is what is.

You didn’t know that when you posed a question to the community that people would answer it?
So you asked the question in bad faith because you just wanted to whinge about Jellyfin, got it.
