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

Hey let me just say that jellyfin is shit. It’s shit and it sucks ass. Thanks 👍

Thanks, that’s sort of what I thought

Wait, this could work behind a provider NAT? That’s something I never ever solved

I’m not sure how you can spread the responsibility so far down? I’m at fault while I have almost no power? I’m not saying do nothing, I’m saying do the thing that matters, like remove these cunts from the world. That’s our responsibility as a species if we want to continue living

Until you stop billionaires from happening you won’t solve anything. Remove the source of all of the shit and things will get better
