people still use plex after the last sneaky they pulled?

[–] thejml@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Got a plex lifetime sub like 7 years ago… As soon as Jellyfin allows downloads for offline viewing, I’m jumping ship. I know I’ll have to figure out TV listing data for OTA recordings, but that seems like a small price to pay. I’ve already got Jellyfin setup and running in my Kubernetes cluster for my video backups, but plex thus far “just works”.

Just an FYI that you can definitely download shows/movies to any device via Jellyfin - just did so on my tablet yesterday...jump ship!!

Did it download the original file or are there download options transcoded on the server?

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

default apps download original files, no transcode options.

Streamyfin claims download any file transcoded as long as your server can transcode it. Haven't tested it myself.
