I love EVERYTHING there except
Saved servers and settings will not be migrated from Jellyfin Media Player.
I can fix it, and it’s no big deal, but I provide services to friends and family who’ll need me to walk them through it.
That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.

They sometimes lose things as well.
And they harrass their users in other ways, for example by randomly renaming stuff to “AI…” or even integrating with AI.
100%
Ads, selling private data, adding AI, cutting features.
I just need JF to be in the same neighborhood as the corporate stuff for security and end-user ease of use. I can do a hell of a lot of complicated stuff on my end, but walking grandma through a change is painful.
The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.
I absolutely hate what Plex has become. I bought a lifetime pass a long, long time ago, and ever since that purchase, they seem to have done nothing but strip features I need and force features I don’t want.
Now if we could just sort the jf collections type in ways other than by date ;)

Sounds like Good First Issue material! (;
I’ve been looking through the source. I could totally fix it, but I worry no one would appreciate my code chops :) And I think the current work on the db changes might invalidate anything I actually try.
Just upgraded from 10.10. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.
E: Couldn’t finish lib scan. Reverted to 10.10.
10.11 is still a hot mess for large home media collection. Especially one with images mixed in. The team doesn’t even seem to prioritize fixing all of that before moving on building new features. Music collection are also slower and albums meta don’t load correctly anymore. I would hold off from fully converting to it if you have a large collection
SWIM has a sizable aged library - wouldn’t be surprising with sqlite db corruptions by now - and absolutely no issues smoothly upgrading amd migrating to 10.11. Had sweaty upgrades a few times over the years but this was not one of them.
Honestly it’s a testament to the devs that it mainly worked for most people as well as it did.
Like kudos to them. That was a huge, huge migration to a different library/format and they pulled it off.
I don’t understand why they put so much effort into clients, when the server is still missing so many QoL features. I wish they would finally focus on those, or else I have no reason to move away from Plex.
I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I’m not a C# programmer.
