Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!

Not really. I bought Plex for $100 13 years ago.

Do you know how much time that saved vs fucking around with xbmc trying to get plugin to work and the media scanner to be consistent?

It was worth every penny and saved me hundreds of hours fucking around with libraries to scan in anime because it doesn’t follow the proper s01e01 format.

Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?

Oh, and was that software available in 2013? No? Right, you are just throwing shit against the wall because someone pointed out that Plex was the best software we had, for a reasonable price, for 10 years or so.

Jellyfin wasn’t even around when I bought Plex. I don’t even think emby was and if it was it was nowhere near as good. So yes Plex has served me well over the years. I am worried about it’s future so have jellyfin all set up in parallel but it still has some show stopper bugs for me to totally migrate over.

My dude if it’s taking hundreds of hours to get Kodi set up for you that’s a you problem. I’ve paid 0$ for Kodi XBMC or jellyfin over the past forever.
