Real plex moment.
My first thought was “this is why you use Jellyfin”.
If Jellyfin would play nice with my APU, not clog the system every time it does a metadata update and the plugin for intro outro detection worked half as good as Plex does, I’d contemplate switching.
If I could say goodbye to Plexamp and it’s awesome Sonic Analysis stuff that is.
You could try Emby. It’s freemium, but the free part doesn’t (or didn’t, last time I used it) require an online account.
IIRC Emby was forked to Jellyfin
I tried Plex and as someone new to it it seems like such garbage. Jellyfin has been utterly flawless for me.
the centralized login method is easier for people outside of your network to use your content. thats kinda the main draw if you are willing to sacrifice that level of privacy
lol anything that does that shit = auto disqualify from even bothering to try it
