We'll never have anything like the DVD screensaver ever again

Plex screensaver isn’t far off. Though now you reminded me I have to get myself off Plex. Sigh.
Jellyfin is easy!

It sucks and can’t handle subtitles well.

I too want a good plex alternative that:

  • Doesn’t require substantial client configuration or fuckery
  • Has robust subtitle support

Jellyfin doesn’t require client fuckery. Just URL, login, password.

It takes a little more work on the server side though, particularly to use https connections while self hosting.

And I’m not sure what robust subtitle support you’re looking for, but jellyfin will show them when I enable them afaik.

Jellyfin’s subtitle support is atrocious. If you are from a multilingual household it is simply not suitable.
