Mika<p>Managing <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Jellyfin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> metadata can feel pretty stupid at times - I've mentioned earlier that manual work is pretty commonly needed compared to <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Plex" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a><span>, whereby there's either missing or wrongly identified metadata.<br><br>But the most annoying thing, when there's a wrongly identified media, and you attempt to fix it manually using "Identify" and picking the correct media/metadata for it - it's not uncommon for the "change" to do... nothing. What I seem to notice is this is what happens if, say, your first-in-order Metadata Provider has no info on the "Correct Media" and only has the "Wrong Media", and another Metadata Provider, say, second-in-order, has info on the "Correct Media" and you've picked it, it will still override your explicit decision and go with the top priority Metadata Provider's choice of "Wrong Media".<br><br>How fucking stupid is that? Any </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/homelab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> folks know why this is the case? I've encountered multiple cases of this at this point that, returning consistent results as I've described to be pretty confident that this is an issue.</p>

Lime Bar<p>So I see the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plex</span></a> android app has been updated to remove the photos features... Those moved out to a separate photos app (just like music is moved out to plexamp) ... But that photos app needs an update soon. I only ever got the initial preview release about 6 months ago</p>
Gene Cowan<p>Public service announcement: if you use the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plex</span></a> app, do NOT update to the new version.

Mika<p>Oh lol, it's one of those things where people say "so and so" is amazing!!! Works perfectly for me so it must for you... then you realise immediately after giving it a whirl that something as basic as subtitle support on your media, regardless if transcoding or direct play (why that'd even matter, honestly?) is broken on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Jellyfin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>. I'm eager to switch to Jellyfin bcos I always knew it was the platform to be on, not <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Plex" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> (since <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a><span> and all), but I am perplexed how Jellyfin supposedly is not able to deliver on this seemingly very basic feature - support subtitles (properly).<br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-subtitles-out-of-sync" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-subtitles-out-of-sync</a><span><br><br>RE: </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/notes/a633ncz6ta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sakurajima.social/notes/a633ncz6ta</a></p>

Rick Williams<p>I’ve been using <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plex</span></a> for over a decade. For some reason I’ve slept on <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plexamp</span></a> because I through streaming was all I needed. After hearing several people talk favorably about it I decided to throw my old collection in it. What a fantastic app! I feel like I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I love. The DJs and Stations are really fun and well done. It’s just a joy to use. Check it out if you have an old music library lying around.</p>
