    So it’s like a party where you’re responsible for building the venue, providing the entertainment, the refreshments, and the party itself.

    Yeah super comparable.

    (Just to clarify I’m not defending shitty streaming services and I sail the seas myself, just can’t stand people with their “iTs JuSt ThAt EaSy” attitudes when it comes to certain things or trying to convince people that don’t have the kind of expertise or resources to do the thing they’re pushing)

      These days you can just ask an LLM to help you step by step. Instead of 10 minutes, it may take a couple of hours to get automated free media forever

    I kinda wish we could federate jellyfin instances. Just manually, with friends I trust. Would instantly expand everyone’s catalogue.

      You kinda can by just adding remote libraries

  It is comparable because they fill the same service.

  It just needs more configuration on your end. Unless you can join a friend who has setup their own.

    That configuration is a bit of a deal though.

    A big part of it is discovery. I discover a lot of movies and TV shows by browsing what’s avaliable. With Jellyfin I need to plan ahead instead of pushing the magic button and doomscrolling until I pick something.

    You can rent Plex access, need to find the sites, usually a discord server.
