Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

    I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

    The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

      All the plugin talk about jellyfin makes me want to switch wish Plex kept support for them. Jellyfin does seem to make way bigger strides than Plex these days

        Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex’s.

        The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

        The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

          Yea I also believe (could be wrong) the Sonic analysis for music and Plex amp is much better than what finamp provides

          Edit: I did run both about a year ago just to see the differences so it would not be hard for me to spin it back up

          Edit 2: prob going to because I want to test the YouTube and twitch plugins tbh

              Ok I’ve heard alot of good things from that according to this Reddit post it has most features minus the DJ witch is cool and I use but I like trying out new apps and it’s got a free trial and only a 5$ purchase so pretty cheap all things considered.

                Ohh yeah, it’s very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.

                Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.
