      I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.

      Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.

      Plex which completely destroys it’s database all the time?

      Look up the repair tools, it’s common.

      Jellyfin has been rock solid.

        Running Jellyfin is a breeze walk in the cake park.

        I switched from Plex years ago and never looked back.

          True, only shitty thing i did was buying lifetime and using it for only two years until i finally dumped it, it corrupted the database 3 times and it isn’t able to be repaired with any tool i’ve found.

          Recreating and rescanning for intro-outro detection literally took a day each time, fuck this.

          There are so many databases hosted on that machine that i can eliminate hardware fault at that point.

          Running Jellyfin has been a really flawless for over a year and intro-outro dectection + auto-skip is also available there, i’m only missing the advertisements of Plex, not in a good way though

        It’s been more than 10 years using it never had an issue nor had I waste time configuring anything.
