Friendly reminder that PLEX is a great, free service, you just have to put in the effort to build up a media collection. High capacity HDDs are very cheap now, so storing a large media collection isn't particularly expensive.

They also offer a lifetime "Plex pass" which adds some neat, but non-essential features, like auto-skipping intros and credits sequences for instance. It's not necessary, but it's a nice way to show support for what they do.

Jellyfin is an open source alternative without any subscription or fees

Does Jellyfin have the credit and intro skips? Also how does it handle music?

[–] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There's an intro skip plugin that I don't use. I've heard it isn't quite up to par with Plex yet though.

Music is handled well for me, I use an app called Finamp on my phone to stream remotely or downloady music to microsd.

Don't use Plex. Used it for a long time until open source jellyfin came by. I never looked back.
