No I don't have issues and I already have different way to access it remotely.

I am just interested in the technical details of how it works.

Tu as vu le film en VO avec sous titres ? Il est disponible depuis quelques semaines mais uniquement en sous titres portugais.

 

Hello

Note that I am only interested in the technical details and I already have alternative for remote access.

As you may know Plex made some changes recently and remote access became a paid feature.

At first I thought that only people using plex.tv who will be impacted as they are using their relay feature. But I was surprised that accessing the server by its public IP is considered as a remote access (it make sense though).

So I thought that putting Plex behind a reverse proxy in the same network will solve the issue. Plex will see a local connection from the reverse proxy and treat it as a direct access. But still Plex detect that as a remote access. I even tweaked the host and headers passed by reverse proxy with no success.

Plex even consider accessing the server using a local domain as a remote access.

So I tested tailscale, I ran it on the server and tried to access Plex using the assigned IP but my access is considered a remote access. Now I ran tailscale on the client and accessing Plex from it is considered a direct access.

At first I thought Plex was checking the url but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Can someone explain me how does Plex detect remote vs local access?

Investigate what? That is a standard config and didn't change anything. Your Raspberry Pi is maybe more powerful than my server. How big is your library?

user and PUID, PGID do the same thing and not all images support PUID and PGID. They tell docker to run the image using the user with those id. My user has ID 30000 and group 30002. This allows me to change files on my library with this user without causing permissions issues for jellyfin.

I thought that the specs are not ideal for Jellyfin as it get stuck at startup, and it takes 3h to do a full scan. My server has an AMD Athlon II 2 220 Processor, 4 GB of RAM, so I thought that maybe Jellyfin need more.

I saw that they are working on big refactoring to use EFCore instead of doing direct SQL queries. I actually was surprised when they were saying that the migration will take days for some, and you shouldn't interrupt it.

Jellyfin has many advanced features compared to Plex, but the experience isn't great for many. For example, Plex and Jellyfin allow you to match/identify your media. Jellyfin allow searching by IMDB/TMDB/… IDs, but Plex doesn't (possible by hidden way). But Jellyfin doesn't autofill the search and year fields, and Plex does. When you select a result, Plex instantly show the fetched details and does the rest in the background. Jellyfin will start rescanning the whole media or episodes, and you get a spinner until it finished checking all media/episodes (minutes later for me for some shows with many seasons). They are really small details but make the user experience not ideal.

It is really a standard config

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.7
    container_name: jellyfin
    user: 30000:30002
    environment:
      - PUID=30000
      - PGID=30002
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - /media/WD/tools/Jellyfin/config:/config
      - /media:/media
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped

The ridiculous thing is that many TV shows make it look as if it is not that expensive and it's fully covered by insurance.

In Friends for example, Joey needed to only do one acting thing and get covered for anything and for a long time.

Yes it a low spec server but like I said Plex is running on it without any issues and it can even transcode.

I am using Ubuntu the latest LTS.

[–] Underwire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I started with docker install, first using the LinuxSever image and then the official image.

Now I tried the native install and will see tomorrow if it is still OK.

I am using Ubuntu.

The server has AMD Athlon II 2 220 Processor, 4GB of RAM.

But Plex is running on it without any issues and has no issues doing one transcode with the faster profile. I even ran plex on specs lower than this and was working without issues except of course for the transcoding.

 

Hi

I started setting up a Jellyfin server for friends to allow them watch remotely after the recent changes from Plex.

The experience so far isn't great. Jellyfin seems to have many advanced features than Plex but the essential ones do not work that well.

The library scan took 3 hours for around 6k files. Plex takes much less time than that. There are many people raising this issue for years now but it is still not fixed.

From the logs I see Jellyfin trying to extract images for chapters even though the option isn't checked. I already found reports for such issues but they are closed without an answer.

The big problem for me is Jellyfin not starting and getting stuck (without meaningful logs) at startup each time the server is shutdown. I did the reinstall 5 times now and trying the native install now. From the debug logs it seems like Jellyfin is stuck on one sql query.

From what I have seen, many issues are getting closed because of non activity even when the issue is still there.

I know that the project is done by volunteers but I was just wondering whatever I should invest more time on trying to resolve the issues. Maybe my server specs are just not ideal for Jellyfin.

Côté films j'ai regardé The 47 Ronin, la version 1941 et 1962. C'est long (3h20) mais ça passe rapidement. Comme celui de 1941 a été filmé durant la guerre beaucoup de choses importantes ont été censuré.

J'ai commencé à regarder From the Northern country, une série japonaise sur un père de famille qui se sépare de sa femme et quitte Tokyo avec ses deux petits enfants pour retourner à son village au nord de Japon. Ils s'installent dans une maison familiale abandonnée sans électricité ou eau et les enfants doivent s'adapter à ce mode de vie. Ça me surprend toujours de voir l'obsession des japonais à voir leur enfants reprennent l'entreprise familiale même s'ils sont difficultés et en galère. Un sujet récurrent dans les vielles séries qui se passent à la compagne.

Pour les sitcoms, que je regarde en mangeant ou en cuisinant, je suis retourné à Seinfeld que je regarde pour la +6 fois. Impossible de trouver une qui me plaise en ce moment et j'en ai testé pas mal déjà.

Not sure about that because I can use it with WhatsApp.

 

Hello,

First, thank you for the amazing work. Since few weeks the app freezes for few seconds when visiting c/datahoarder and it only happens with that community.

 

Salut,

Moi et une amie japonaise, on va passer une soirée à regarder un film et je cherche quelque recommandations. Elle aime bien la France et de coup je cherche un truc français ou ça se passe en France. Je ne connais pas grand chose quand ça concerne le cinéma français. Elle aime tout ce qui est comédie, romantique, policier et thriller. Elle a bien aimé Amélie. De mon côté c'est surtout thriller, dramatique, policier comédie. J'ai trouvé ces films qui ont l'air intéressant et peuvent plaire à nous deux :

  • L'appartement - 1996
  • Léon - il faut que je check la version courte car les scènes en plus sont très gênante.
  • Trois couleur : Bleu
  • Le Parfum
  • Intouchables ou Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis mais je ne sais pas si je vais aimer.
 

I met this Japanese girl in some language forum few months ago and we started exchanging messages on daily basis (but only one message a day). I started liking her as I loved her personality and way of thinking and didn't seem like other Japanese girls (but maybe it is just me having the stereotype image). She is also my type. She studies in a neighboring country. She did come to my country for a visit and met her face to face. Before coming, I asked her if she is single and interested in a relationship and it was the case. So I suggested going on a casual date and she said yes.

When we met, we walked through the city and then went for dinner but nothing fancy or romantic. After that I told her that liked the time we spent together and would like to see her again and going on more dates. She told me that she's not sure but she would like to see me. From her answer, I understood that she wasn't interested.

I didn't bring that subject until we started talking about difference in dating between Japan and western European countries. For her going on a date is not something casual and happen when the relationship in an advanced stage, before that is hanging out. So I asked her if she misunderstood my previous messages and suggested meeting her and hang out and see. She accepted and asked me what made want to see her again. So I told directly that I like and find her cute. She told me that she wasn't aware that I was seeing her in that way. I was a little surprised and I thought it was obvious.

We will be meeting in a few weeks and we started looking for things to do. We will be going to watch a very romantic play she suggested and she even asked if we can watch something together in the place I will be staying.

So I am really confused, those seem like things you do in a second or third date in my country. Or something you just do with a friend. But I don't have too much experience in dating (neither her I think). On my side I won't make any assumptions and will spend time with her as planned, if things feel right I may ask her directly (I won't just hold her hands or kiss her).

I know every experience is different but I would like to know your thoughts on this.
