Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

      Both will happen.

      🤞. Hopefully it’s just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

      Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

        I don’t think Jellyfins focus is currently to support irregular naming schemes. Naming media correctly with a proper scheme is the way to go.

        Just so you know I wouldn’t hold my breath.

          I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.
