Time to updoot!

Plex becomes less relevant with every new version!

If I was starting a media server today I'd pick Jellyfin. However, my plex server is 10 years old any all my family and friends use it.

Jellyfin fucks up my SD shows for whatever reason (they play fine in VLC). From reading the notes, doesn't look like this update will fix this for me, which is unfortunate.

>>106944513 (OP)
Plex is better

>>106945090
>Jellyfin fucks up my SD shows for whatever reason
Half my shows are SD and they play fine. What are you even doing? Are you trying to run XVID on a TV that doesn't decode it?

>>106945125
The shows do this weird thing where there's a bunch of horizontal lines that splits the frames, like it's trying to show multiple frames at once. I use the official jellyfin client on my PC to watch stuff on jellyfin, which is where this is happening. If I watch the exact same file with VLC, the horizontal lines are gone and I see one frame at a time, how it should be.

>>106944513 (OP)
Did they fix the trash search they broke a few versions ago?

>I use the official jellyfin client on my PC to watch stuff on jellyfin, which is where this is happening. If I watch the exact same file with VLC, the horizontal lines are gone and I see one frame at a time, how it should be.
Sounds like you have an older PC with bad hardware decoding or bad graphics drivers. You should probably troubleshoot and switch decoding to another method or use software decoding like VLC also does.

>>106945157
My PC is only a few years old. It has a Ryzen 7 5825U. No dedicated GPU.

>>106945172
Weird. I've never had an issue with any Jellyfin client. Try another desktop client from https://github.com/awesome-jellyfin/awesome-jellyfin/blob/main/CLIENTS.md#-desktop

>>106944522
/thread

>>106945210
I gave Fladder a try, and it has the same problem. It's not as obvious as in the official media player, but definitely still there.

I get the same artifacts on my other PC, which has a ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3080. Could it be an encoder problem? The computer running plex has an intel Celeron J3455, which is pretty toaster tier. I figured for SD media it should be fine, I've streamed HD from this machine in the past without issue.

>>106945322
The celeron stays at 0% usage while streaming to my PC, so I don't think it's doing any encoding at all.

>>106945144
Looks like interlacing

>>106945322
>I gave Fladder a try, and it has the same problem. It's not as obvious as in the official media player, but definitely still there.
This is probably Fladder and Jellyfin Media Player both use MPV. Try going into the setting and turn off hardware acceleration or use another backend. I think MPV is not configured correctly for your Ryzen 7.

<--- see?

Oh I see now. You're watching interlaced content. 480i instead of 480p. You have to turn on "deinterlacing" on MPV. I think VLC does it by default.

Here's the solution from somebody with your issue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/140opto/jellyfin_not_deinterlacing_direct_media/

>>106945485
That fixed it, thank you very much!

Having to create a txt file with some magic stuff in it is not the best user experience, jellyfin has some work to do. It's a solved problem too, I don't need to make any bespoke config files in vlc to make my media work properly.

>>106945537
>Having to create a txt file with some magic stuff in it is not the best user experience, jellyfin has some work to do.
It's not Jellyfin. It's mpv, which has all the settings in a text file and it has deinterlacing off by default because interlaced content is rare because encoded DVDs are typically already deinterlaced into 480P.

VLC works because it has a built-in DVD disc player function so it has interlacing turned on by default. MPV doesn't have a DVD disc player because its meant for digital media, but it is very powerful and you can make it do anything with the text file settings.

Glad you got it fixed.

>>106945586
I ripped the files myself with makemkv. Is there a setting I needed to change to deinterlace ahead of time so mpv doesn't need to do it?

Looks like ffmpeg can deinterlace, I'll look into doing that to my files.

>>106945016
Yeah its not as easy to invite new users but Wizarr is a nice tool that can make that process simpler
>>106945090
might be your transcoding, do you have it turned on?
>>106945155
i never had a problem with my search but the new release made it a lot faster

>>106945608
>I ripped the files myself with makemkv. Is there a setting I needed to change to deinterlace ahead of time so mpv doesn't need to do it?
Ah that's why. Older DVDs especially are interlaced so if you rip them with makemkv, they will typically be ripped untouched and remuxed into an mkv container for easy playback. You'd need to encode the mpeg2 and dolby data to something like x264 or x265 with a encoder like Handbrake to save space while keeping quality and during that process, it will deinterlace the file for you and spit out a smaller encoded mkv but of course, that takes time. You will probably just want to let the player deinterlace for you.

Here's somebody with the same question as you and people's replies so you can do more research yourself.

Example? I've never had an issue.
I couldn't imagine some old anime causing problems because nips refused to use the season format.

If you have andriod tv you should be using the dune client. It looks great

>>106946198
Seasonal anime for one doesn't work right. I have to use "home movies" for it in order to actually see which episode I'm about to watch, and using that Kodi refuses to display watched/unwatched, so it's a shitshow.
For me personally, I enjoy listening to anime OP and EDs. I have a library for this, organized by season, then by show and finally the OPs. Obviously using the default music database just creates a plethora of listings for each individual song/artist, many times in unintelligible moonrunes.
If I use the current "view folder structure" option, it stops reading it past the first fucking folder.
Like how hard is it just to make a library type that strictly lets you browse it like a PC folder structure without all the media metadata nonsense?

Of course not you monkey. Go learn it. It's exactly what you want.

Just got on the jellyfin train yesterday. Installed on an LXC in proxmox as that seemed to me the cleanest option. Trying to move most of my stuff to docker containers since I like being able to declaratively define the desired configuration with docker compose, but I'm running docker in a VM and didn't want to pass through the entire iGPU for hardware acceleration and lose the video outputs for direct host console emergency access. Also didn't want to run docker on the proxmox host.
Currently I just bind mounted a video directory into the container but are there any storage considerations I should be aware of?

>>106946134
You don't. I'm used to plugins that will certainly break with this update, so I'll wait until they support it.

>>106946129
I do, but he shouldn't have to. Watching a video is about the most "normie" internet activity possible, and it should work.

>>106947394
you will have to follow those steps eventually anyway, might as well do it now

>>106946596
Reading this just says the update was more for them than it was the users. Snapshots is a nice addition though.

pass. plex worked good before a jillion updates too.

>>106947394
Imagine bothering to make backups. Honestly I might consider deleting the entire thing and installing from scratch, fuck my existing metadata it can just make it again.

do they have a good apple TV client yet? pretty much the only thing holding me back

Not that many "noticeable" new major features. I like the easier backups. I just wish they would work on the desktop client more. I don't like being unable to adjust the subtitle settings from the video page.

>>106947619
It feels cleaner doing just that. I'm considering it now.

the startup ui and log viewer are a nice touch

Will the actual website come installed with this version? I swear every time I install it manually or with a proxmox community script it installs without the actual website, and all attempts to install it fall flat. Am I stupid, or was it just always broken.

Docker container works our of the box, but I hate docker

Jellyfin is slow as fuck and breaks way too often to be useful for anything

is this upgrade gonna corrupt my database again? so annoying

>>106949465

>>106949501
>is this upgrade gonna corrupt my database again? so annoying
sounds like you upgraded without following directions. this release is a huge update so you might as well start fresh and do a clean install.

>>106948977
stop using proxmox and you'll start to use podman. just install debian and skip the web UI nonsense of proxmox.

>>106945699
Yes that was the issue and that is a problem being slow as fuck. It went from 0.1 second search to 1 plus seconds. That's 10 times slower.
It stemmed from them searching every key down and also their search being slow.
Looks like they fixed it to not spam the search every key down, which is something I told them to do. Search only after a delay in typing.
But the search itself is still slow as fuck, luckily you do not notice because it only is doing one search instead of ten when you type one word.

>>106947453
no, you will need 1TB of ddr5 ram now

>>106946283

I love Plex, but I'm growing increasingly annoyed by it. In the latest version for Roku, I have to restart the app every time I have to get subtitles working for a particular show or movie, and it's driving me nuts. This isn't an issue with Jellyfin, but I'd like a solution for Plex.

>>106946129
i'm sorry anon, but this is the future, young people don't know what interlacing is anymore

>>106945144
>like it's trying to show multiple frames at once.
you're basically correct. television used to work by drawing even lines, then odd lines, and so on. this was basically a compression technique to improve spacial resolution for still or slow-moving images in the analogue domain (it halves the bandwidth required but still images look the same resolution, only fast-moving images approach half-resolution).
digital captures of said interlaced content puts even and odd lines (fields) into the same frame, but they're not supposed to be shown at the same time, so such files need to be flagged as being interlaced, and players need to perform deinterlacing to handle this correctly if displaying them on a non-interlaced display (any modern display)

>>106944513 (OP)
I don't like updating. It always breaks.

>>106947741
I glanced over the blog, appears that it's not a really a feature update so much as removing spaghetti code and fixing de-duplication errors in the metadata database.
Making future feature releases more likely?
I have a tiny library and it upgraded extremely quickly, but to be honest, if I had a giant library with lots of metadata errors, I'd probably just do a clean install and let JF fetch everything again.

>>106946151
>docker compose down
>docker compose pull

>>106945586
>DVDs are typically already deinterlaced into 480P
this is incorrect. interlaced dvd's are actually pretty common, any NTSC film content is interlaced for example, and any 50i/60i tape content is interlaced as well.
i presume you're in a PAL region, same as me. movies in PAL DVDs are progressive, because they're simply sped up to 25fps. dvd's don't support 24p, 50p or 60p. they stick to traditional analogue standards pretty closely. 24fps film content sped up to 25fps PAL is the only situation where you will find dvd's with no interlacing. and that's assuming the have no 50i effects or segments (mixed-rate content was prevalent in the analogue days)

>>106951429
I hated DVDs so goddamn much

>>106945608
if you want to transcode them, then you need to either make sure you flag the resulting files as being interlaced, or deinterlace them before transcoding them.
the best deinterlacer out there is qtgmc, but if it's film content (which your screenshot suggests), then what you might need instead is an Inverse TeleCine (IVTC) filter, which can turn the 60i video back into the 24p video is was sourced from, this is distinct from deinterlacing, though it does also remove deinterlacing artifacts

>>106951463
DVD was a product of its' time. i can't blame it for this. 100% of broadcast tv was interlaced when DVD came around. it hardly mattered that it supported progressive video, none of the content was, and nobody had 480p ("EDTV") televisions
it was forward-thinking enough to support (anamorphic) widescreen.
it supported everything that it reasonably could have in 1996 when it came out

I love jellyfin but can they please make an actual fucking anime library? I tried shoko but it still sucks. Right now I'm back to just watching it with mpv but I like having jellyfin track my progress.

>>106947394
I upgraded and my library size is pic related, it took like under 5m to finish the migration.

>>106949752
C# enjoys taking the amount of RAM you allow it to, rather than what it needs. If you wish to give it less, you'll want to limit the container.

>>106951463
imo the biggest shame now is that few people know how to handle DVDs
recently i wanted to re-watch Mr. Bean, and the popular torrents were all "deinterlaced" to 25fps. deinterlaced video may piss you off, but what's even more egregious is when 50i (or 60i) content is turned into 25p (30p), throwing away half the temporal information ("framerate") in the process
i had to find a dvd remux just get the original 50i video.

clip related, the original dvd deinterlaced with qtgmc vs. a popular "hevc, 10bit" encode.

>>106952095
>deinterlaced video may piss you off
or rather; interlaced video may piss you off

>>106952095
I'm autistic sensitive to frame rates, 5ms tier lip sync issues, but I can barely see a difference lol. Left is the smoother one right?

>>106952571
yes, left has literally twice the frame rate. if you can barely tell the difference, maybe you're not as autistic as you think you are
seriously thought the horitontal panning scenes like the crash and the parking should be blatantly obvious

I can't believe the number of people that will go through literal hell to avoid a $75 Lifetime Plex Pass purchase. I thought tech workers had more money than time. Or do you just enjoy your suffering in some sick way?

>>106952571
>>106952647
oh also should note that this is /25 and 50fps/, not 30/60, so it's best viewed at a multiple of that, like 50Hz or 100Hz, if you're viewing at 60Hz then it won't look as smooth as it should be, which can make them harder to tell apart

>>106952656
I setup my jellyfin server a year ago, as easy as clicking next a couple times, put movies on a folder and enjoy, never had a single issue and plenty of family and friends use it too

I kinda stopped using jellyfin because I was only using it for organizing anime on one machine and I found something better to do that. Namely Seanime.
Though I have my own major gripes with that software.

Can I update it without restarting the server? I'm lazy.

>>106944513 (OP)
>Plex becomes less relevant with every new version!
How is Plex less relevant now that Jellyfin... shows a startup notification instead of 404ing, and removed automatic port forwarding?

Serious question, why should I install jellyfin over my current configuration which is a NAS + a chromecast with kodi on it? I watched a couple videos but I'm still not sold

>>106952849
jellyfin is only for content management, you get a netflix UI and it keeps track of what you watched

>>106952849
What this anon >>106952875 said, plus it's nice if you want to server media to your family/friends. You can make them accounts and manage what they have access to.

>>106952691
Yeah I'm sure you're not lying based on every Jellyfin thread and experiencing the app firsthand and the "highlights" of this release

>>106953258
The highlights of the release are search speeds and caching etc. everything else they're obviously ultra proud of but nobody cares because users only care about what they experience and see... Unless it's like "your password will be leaked to Pakistan".

>>106953434
It's great they exist but it's not Plex yet. I'm worried I'll have to leave Plex for Jellyfin eventually but I hope it's in the distant future when it's good

PART 2:

>>106953466
>>106952771
Honestly I find jellyfin much better than plex except for PM4K and kometa. Everything else jellyfin does much better for my users and clients. At least jellyfin never breaks basic playback features like plex does for me all the time, all the required features just werk. Kometa and pm4k are kino however and I totally get wanting to stay just for those.
>>106952702
>seanime
Cool, never tried this. How does it compare to something like shoko/shokofin?
>>106952849
You can use kodi as the frontend and jellyfin for the backend, this is what I do. If you're the only user watching though jellyfin might be out of scope for your use case, although I used it this way for a few years.

>>106954923
but wh

>>106955194
>What didn't work about shoko?
Been a while since I tried it but iirc it was treating movies as shows. Ideally it would differentiate shows and movies but still group a series together so you don't have a dozen entries from 1 series clogging things up (e.g. Monogatari).

So much better than using Kodi

Is there ANYTHING that works properly with new seasonal anime?

I don't understand this complaint. I use sonarr + jellyfin and almost never have issues with seasonal anime. Rarely sonarr may not have the correct name to search for on the premiere date, but usually gets fixed within a day or two and then works fine for the rest of the season.

I don't understand codecs. My goal is to have all videos converted to a format that will run natively on my roku tv. I have been converting to h264 and thought that was all that mattered. Either h264 works on the tv or it doesn't. But with a series I just added there was a slight loading and the playback information says it has to transcoded because:

Reason: VideoProfileNotSupported
Reason: VideoBitDepthNotSupported


I've been converting everything with ffmpeg, using the same crf=30, and libx264. Why does this one not work? And what do I need to add to get the right video profile and bit depth?

I got an old laptop with a gen 3 quad i7 with 16GB, can it be used as a jellyfin server? or its too weak? how many streams could it handle? it only has an iGPU.

Here, use my setup:

->\movies [Movies]
->\anime
->->\series [TV Shows]
->->\movies [Movies]

>>106956284
>How do people have so much trouble with anime?
I suspect there's a venn diagram overlap between 'refuses to / too stupid to tag music files correctly' and 'refuses to / too stupid to rename video files correctly'. It's not difficult at all to rename TV shows in the seriesname - s01e01 - episodename format, or to put movies into their own moviename (releaseyear) directories, and yet people continue to throw shit straight into \movies and \tv without stopping to rtfm or even THINK. Because they're retarded.

>>106959031
"Mixed Movies and Shows" content type has worked fine for me to keep all anime in a single library.

>>106959069
I set up anime as separate libraries because I didn't want Legend of the Overfiend mixed-in with stuff like the Lethal Weapon movies lol.

>>106955201
I've never tried Shokofin.
Seanime has a few good features that make it really nice for watching seasonal stuff like a calendar for new releases and a discovery page with all the new stuff. It has Anilist integration, so you can also search for and download old stuff which it catalogs like jellyfin (Although the algorithm really sucks and constantly gets it wrong and you have to retag shows which is also a cumbersome process). And it's kinda like Stremio in that you can just stream torrents in mpv instead of having to download the file first. It's neat.

It doesn't have any android apps or anything, though. It's pretty much strictly for use in a desktop. You can sorta access it from a webpage on other local devices, but it's awkward to use.

>>106949752

I updated the docker image on my raspberry pi yesterday and it wasn't working anymore.
Stopped everything, deleted the .config folder and restarted everything. I just had to log in from the browser, set the password and the folder to pick the files from again. I couldn't be bothered to find out what the problem was, I was in a hurry

>>106956932

As much as I want to use Jellyfin. Whenever I use it to stream to others it just shits the bed hard. Random disconnect, low quality, buffering etc.. While on Plex it just works.. I hate plex but I need Plex to watch shit with my friends. It works flawlessy locally though.

>>106960781
Let me guess you only have some 480p 256kbit bitrate mp4 files that you stream.

No I only do HD. Transcoding is gayyyyyyyyyy. Turned it off day 1.

My bad, so it's 720p 256kbit mp4 files.

Um no fag I have 1080p and 2160p only, no YIFY shit. It just works.

>>106960595
Well that's fucking annoying
Seems like a critical bug to me. Could have just put a bounty/help wanted on it.

>>106957668
You don't need a GPU at all for it, an i7 should be fine, but check to see if your cpu supports hardware transcoding. It's not essential, but will help out if you're streaming to a device that doesn't support whatever codec the file is in.
I use a NUC 150 and it's perfect. It's way weaker than your laptop.

>>106960952
Nta, I like YIFY shit. :(

I often considered switching to Jellyfin but they don't have an app for samsung tvs. with plex at least it's plug and play.

>>106961931
You should get your eyes examined.

>>106961992
Imagine using Samsung apps at all lol

>>106960630
Emby exists. They had a loss of users from arguably their biggest customers, people who run plex servers professionally. For new customers they have been making moves to focus on their legit streaming offerings even though no one uses plex like that. And like I said, the only things they bring to the table over jellyfin besides interface are both FOSS developed, Kometa and PM4K. Kometa's biggest feature request is for a jellyfin version, and the developers have said they plan for it iirc.
>>106959562
That's interesting to know, I'll probably have to give it a try to see if I can recommend it to my weeb friends.

>>106956341

>>106961992
They do iirc but I think you have to jailbreak your samsung.

>>106963292
idk what emby is up to since they went proprietary. i was using emby before, and naturally once something free goes non-free, someone forks it, that's how we got jellyfin

>>106963457
It's like a plex that is less far along in their attempts to monetize imo. In fairness to emby I don't think they have the same focus on investor profits that plex does. It's alright. But I see it personally as a worst of all worlds. It's fast and efficient though so for extremely large pro content distribution servers (like 13+ PB of content) they have switched to emby rather than jellyfin from plex.

>>106963539
i know even less about plex. like i at least /knew/ emby, i've never known plex

>>106956932

All my plugins are ok.

Also, this time, the update didn't fuck up the custom flags...

I tried Jellyfin but the compression artifacts were just horrendous no matter what settings I chose

I actually reinstalled Plex yesterday and it works great right out of the box

>>106965012
>but the compression artifacts
Problem in Jellyfin configuration for encoding acceleration or in some drivers perhaps.

>reinstalled Plex yesterday and it works great right out of the box
That's a fair statement, not like the usual "Jellyfin is shit" or "Plex is a paid bloat".

>>106965012
Stop transcoding

you don't need anything fancy at all if you're not doing transcode. if all your server does is deliver files to your house. a pentium3 is more than enough.

>>106944513 (OP)
recently got into this and some other arr stuff and I've been wondering, is there anything that's good for cleanup? maintainerr looks interesting but that seems to be a mostly plex sort of thing

I want to lessen the hassle of removing shit since I have to both delete a show or a movie on radarr/sonarr and then I have to go on qbittorrent itself to actually delete the file there

I've seen some things surrounding auto deleting the torrents once it hits a certain seeding threshold and then presumably the files would be copied over instead of being links? but then again I don't really want to cap shit, I want it to keep seeding as long as it's there

ideally I would just open up jellyfin as the admin there and delete something, and all the background services shit would handle themselves automatically, is there anything that comes even close to that?

>>106961992
they do but you need to enter developer mode and install it from some github repo lol. not difficult for me but such a terrible user experience
>>106969022
when you delete a file in radarr/sonarr the default option is to remove it from your download client

>/tmp has to be 2GB or larger or else it won't start
What a shitty change. Sure, I can increase the size of /tmp, but after doing that and Jellyfin running for days, it still hasn't written anything to it.

>>106970657
i think it's for transcoding caches. i agree it shouldn't be a hard requirement, rather a warning. i also don't use transcoding
technically it only defaults to /tmp and you can change where it's temp files go, but again, i don't think the server should refuse to start because of an optional feature

>>106944513 (OP)
Oh, so they FINALLY finished that major backend re-write?
Hopefully that means they can deploy new features easier in the future.

>>106961916
>I use a NUC 150 and it's perfect. It's way weaker than your laptop.

Yeah but its newer, has AV1 transcoding hardware right? this laptop was high end 13 years ago, it has Quick Sync and can handle H.264/AVC but newer stuff?

>>106970722
I like that /tmp is a tmpfs stored in RAM in case it does write anything other than transcoding data (which I don't use).

>>106970760
What other major features are there to add though? I can't think of any, but my use-case is rather simple. I'd love some minor things like comments and user ratings. There are only 3 people using my instance, but it would still be fun.

>>106971315

Serious question hows the Metadata fetching of jellyfin? Have like a 5 year old Plex setup, no clue if I want to migrate to Jellyfin.

>>106973721
Works perfectly well for me, though I also keep my files nicely named and organized.

>>106973721
there's no 'special sauce' in either software, as they both use the exact same sources as standard for metadata: TVDB for TV shows, and IMDB / TMDB for movies. if the stuff you have is in either of those, and named in the way that it expects, you're good.

\tv\seriesname (optionalreleaseyear)\season 01\seriesname - s01e01 - optionaltitle.ext

\movies\movietitle (releaseyear)\literallyanyfile.ext

>>106971315
>What other major features are there to add though?
at the end of the day it's a tool to playback video, so there's only so many But Wait There's More! bullet points you can wring out of it.

still, my immediate response would be 'a more robust database format, rather than the current SQLite database that's a patched-up holdover from the original XBMC days'. or a rework of the favourites system, so it doesn't amount to a single vertically-scrolling list of thumbnails on a forgotten tab on the homescreen. something that scans your filetree and makes poison gas come out of your computer if it detects something like
>~Content\Simpsons, The (U.S. - Animated - Ongoing)\Episodes I haven't seen yet\26-50\28-Stark-Raving-Dad.ogm
which clearly indicates the owner is incapable of taking care of themselves.

>>106973721
mine are automatically organized by Sonarr so it works perfectly

>>106973721
terrible that's why sonarr and beets do it for me

What’s the best Jellyfin app on iOS devices nowadays?

>>106973721
If your Jellyfin doesn't list a specific folder, check themoviedb or tvdbid and add a flag like this :

www.themoviedb.org/movie/315837-ghost-in-the-shell

Add a flag to your folder :
./movies/Ghost_in_the_Shell_(2017)_[tmdbid-315837]/shitty-adaptation-in-4k.mkv

>>106969363
it only seems to remove the linked files for me, the torrent stays in qbittorrent and I have to got there to delete it manually

>>106944522

And I will be using Plex until Jellyfin is as widely available on everything. I don't want to support Plex but so far nothing can match the compatibility and stability. I don't really care for that myself but my plex users would get upset if I switched to Jellyfin.

>>106944513 (OP)
I used plex since 2018 or so
When they suddenly demanded some sort of ransom money for me to be able to play my fucking videos in my browser on my own server I jumped ship
Been on Jellyfin for half a year now. Havent looked back.

>>106973721
god this shit is so ass

>>106969022
I use janitorr. If you use qbit and setup qbitmanage that should take care of the torrents that don't auto delete.

That's literally what 10.11 does.
>>106974743
Streamyfin for transcoding, infuse for everything else.
>>106975466
Jellyfin is pretty similarly supported, it's just not as slick as plex is which is understandably a negative for some. You may want to consider emby if your users are willing to switch.

let me guess, it still can't handle switching audio or subtitles without going out of sync
