Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars TechnicaEnglish
2·26 days agoI think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

2·27 days agoThank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.
I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

3·27 days agoI’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.

🤞. 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.

131·27 days agoCurrently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.
Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
11·1 month agoJust have the magnetic puck exactly in the location where you leave your controller when not playing and done, never think about the battery and don’t swap things.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
25·1 month agoI, for one, still don’t understand why you want to swap batteries. I’m assuming you’re talking about rechargable AA batteries, and not the environmental disaster that are single use batteries. How’s taking the batteries out, going to the charging station, swapping the batteries, returning and installing them back into the controller less convenient that just dropping the controller onto the recharging puck when it’s not in use?
So you have some special conditions where you can’t recharge the controller between sessions?

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin for Android TV update to 0.19English
3·2 months agoI’m gonna test the improvements to the subtitles handling and hopefully be a step closer to not needing to rely on Plex.
I live in small apartments and I would know if my cat got on the table or counter, in the very least by the jumping off thump. In fact, it was happening in one particular apartment. IDK why, but he would get on that counter. And yes, usually during the night when nobody is there. Doesn’t happen in the current apartment.
Hopefully it doesn’t suddenly evolve inside that glass.
Why can’t they just assign order ID number like every other normal food service business?

1·2 months agoApple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.

2·2 months agoAs I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

32·2 months agoOn MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Windows Games’ Compatibility on Linux Is at an All-Time HighEnglish
4·2 months agoFor every game that breaks compatibility due to anti-cheat there’s 100s more new games that don’t have it and probably run on Linux just fine. So on average, the compatibility always goes up.
I would’ve just closed the curtain to avoid glare like that fat guy from the meme.
