If you're considering #Plex as a #MediaServer I would advise you to avoid it like the plague, particularly if you're considering spending money on a subscription.

The recent "upgrade" was anything but an #upgrade, breaking numerous functions, seeing regression bugs, changes in functionality and compatibility for devices that were not previously announced, and seemingly no plan to resolve these issues once they presented themselves. With a huge influx of support issues on the forum and a significant amount of people reporting #CompleteFailure their response was not ownership or even acknowledgement and a pause of the rollout and/or roll-back to a working version was not even entertained. The only solution for many was to roll back to a previous version (if you could find the binaries) but then back end changes meant that subsequently #failed also leaving many with non-functional servers.

Support pages on their internet page are being edited or removed post-rollout to remove information about compatible hardware that no longer works after the update.

I would rank this rollout as one of the worst I have ever experienced and has cemented the fact that they do not care about #Support or good #Software distribution practices but instead will take your money and leave you with a completely unusable product and barely any support.

Habe gerade zum Ersten Mal in 15 Jahren echte Probleme mit Plex. Meldung „Oh oh, Irgendwas stimmt nicht…“
Es sind meine lokalen Inhalte. Auf meinem Server. In meinem Netzwerk.
Vielleicht wird es Zeit, Plex durch Jeööyfin zu ersetzen. Eine benötigte Anmeldung ist einfach blöd. Lediglich das transkodieren ist unter Jellyfin irgendwie nicht so leicht einzurichten.
Ich mag Plex ja, aber so etwas darf nicht sein…

Part 1 of a massive new video series I've been working really hard on behind the scenes for the last few weeks.

100% open source. 100% free.

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

#Jellyfin is the best software I've discovered in the last few years. I'm loving this. Making my own collections of all the media I love. Streaming it effortlessly everywhere I go. Automatically identifying it. Sharing it with others. Downloading it with the click of a button.

This is how media consumption should be. I think it might be time for me to make a donation because they deserve it!

Wow, super impressed with @jellyfin over #plex. Just installed it last weekend and have been using it, trying it side by side with plex and jellyfin not only looks better, it sounds a lot better too. Same films, same files, and even my wife who doesn't give a crap about this kind of thing thought it was a lot better lol. #mediaserver Now need to go figure out all the add-ons you can use with #jellyfin to see if i can improve the functionality and features.

With the debacle of West Wing getting pulled and then reinstated on Max (yeah, I know. first world, head in sand, need cope problems), I realized that I hadn't finished ripping the DVDs to put on the media server. I picked them up used some time ago. I truly loathe trying to track down favorite shows across various streaming services, so I really try to obtain physical media. I can then rip it and upload it to my jellyfin server and have it streamable for me anytime I want without fear of it disappearing or relocating. I highly recommend it. You never know when a favorite way of obtaining brain chemicals is going to fall out from underneath you right at the moment you need it most.

Guck doch mal nach ob es bei Panasonic eine Vorgänger Software gibt und spiele die ein.

Einige TVs haben auch eine Rücksetzfunktion auf den Auslieferungsstatus

Ich persönlich hänge kein TV ans Netz.

Ich habe einen kleinen #Mediaserver (#Raspberrypi) der die Smart TV Funktion übernimmt und keine Infos über mich an den Hersteller schickt.

So läuft mein 10 Jahre alter SmartTv auch noch obwohl es schon lange keine Updates mehr gibt

### Translation:

**Lampa + TorrServer = Love**

An amazing open-source solution for a home media hub.

- Want to download torrents?
- Want to connect external sources?

The possibilities are endless! Tons of plugins are available. You can even integrate online streaming services like Kino.pub as one of the sources.

#selfhost is optional because there are already pre-configured servers available.

### Proof:

Both **[Lampa](lampa.dev/)** and **[TorrServer](github.com/YouROK/TorrServer)** are well-documented open-source projects actively maintained by their communities. You can host them locally or use public servers for convenience.
