    American dad being screwy is what got me to finally setup Jellyfin. I was just using Stremio for everything but the jumping around because of season misnumbering was bad

        I’ve heard they’re called smyths on reddit and there’s a complete collection in some thread over there.

            Also, repetitions are removed and some of the fluff (though sometimes a bit too much of the fluff has been removed according to some opinions I read once upon a time on reddit). To make up for it, replace the missing fluff with the stupidly long fluffy tail of content which this comment is now somehow turning into. Fluffing the fluff. And also, repetitions(!) are removed but also the fluff.

            The initial idea is probably to extend the viewers interest over the whole episode rather than pick what you wanted to see.
            Works more for linear tv. Not so much for VoD.

            Thanks for the insight :)

      And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that’s messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that

        Wait until you have to match foreign to english naming to match the release name.
        I did that for the first 3 seasons of a dvd pack I ordered and ripped to get the dub iny language (and the 2 rips on trackers were of a too low quality)

        Ouch, my condolences.
        It’s fascinating that it took me longer to scroll through that than most people have or ever will spend on watching the show.

    I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn’t bundle these up.

    Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).

    The Repair Shop was a real pain in the ass to import since they apparently run multiple seasons concurrently for some reason.

      Personally, I don’t care enough. Mostly my kids watch SpongeBob, and I can tell when vaguely paying attention as they watch it that I’ve seen every episode in seasons 1-3 (the only seasons I bothered to load) multiple times, which would specifically have been when I was a kid watching live TV. And half the time it’s on shuffle anyways so the order doesn’t matter at all

      Edit to add: not sure if the issues people are describing are Plex specific but Jellyfin required zero manual effort when I injested the rips. All episodes have correct metadata (as two parters, so for example I have “S1E10-11 Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple” as a single episode)

        I am too much of a lerfectionist (metadata) to not care. :(

        Edit:
        Thing is, not every release respects the aired or the DVD-order that TVDB uses.
        So you might have some episode which deviates from the current order and suddenly it doesnt work anymore.

      Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.

      Besides, I don’t think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc

      I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.

        Lemmy is obsessed with (F)OSS. But strangely when it comes to Plex/Jellyfin it’s not as important due to financial decisions from years ago.

        And users here are usually *But my Plex :c"

        Sorry, did you mean a lifetime membership to Jellyfin? Because I don’t think there is such a thing…

          The lifetime membership to Jellyfin is on Github in the form of a GPL license and the source code. I’ve got a lifetime membership to Jellyfin and it didn’t cost me a dime.

          Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.

          Don’t get me wrong, I’m not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I’ve used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it’s very useful for sharing content I don’t want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn’t have the polish that Plex has. There’s definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.

            It would take me more than a few minutes to set up remote access VPN-less, Arr stack and Riven/Zurg to it…

            But hey, as a Plex Pass lifetime user Jellyfin still looks like a good second option.

          Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.

          What about it? Genuinely… I’ve been using Rokus longer than Plex, what’s the issue with the Roku version?
