  1. Sorry to say, you're never getting a jellyfin app on Sony consoles, at least not from the official developers. The terms they force on developers are extremely restrictive, including forcing you to sign a ludicrous NDA and close source EVERYTHING related to the app. I believe Samsung TVs are in a similar situation. Plex, being for profit, simply has the weight and lack of moral qualms to successfully develop for those platforms. The (official) client situation is best on Roku, iOS, and tvOS I believe. There's actually multiple Android apps available from third parties, but it seems like the bulk of the official development effort is on iOS and Roku because that's what most of the users and developers are using. Something to think about next time you're purchasing a new streaming device.
  2. Yeah Sony consoles (and Nintendo) is more than likely never happening for Jellyfin. The developers don't want to join Sony's circus of insanely restrictive NDAs and being forced to closed source everything related to any potential PS4/5 client. They tell you to just use the web browser, which honestly sounds pretty bad lol (but I haven't used a console web browser since Xbox 360, so maybe they're usable now?) Anyone could make a PS4/5 client if they wanted to, the official developers just have no interest. Other than that some clients are better than others. The Roku client is great given the limitations Roku places on everyone. JMP for Windows/Mac/Linux is great, although it could use some polish and really needs to be in the Microsoft store for auto updating. The iOS app is great, and they're working on a much better one. I cant really speak on Android or WebOS because I've never used them personally, but Android has multiple third party apps available. There's even a books/comics app for Android and iOS that is in development. Once it's complete I'm fully expect it to be the best way to read comics on my phone. I'd say check back in 6-12 months on the client situation. But if anyone is a Roku and iOS user like myself, everything is more than good enough to go right now. The most important thing is having some level of hardware acceleration available for transcoding, like a GTX 1050ti or Intel HD Graphics 630 or better. It really smooths out the experience if you have multiple devices because some are really weird with what they do and don't support.
  3. Jellyfin was really bad until ~2021, it wasn't a good plex replacement in the slightest. As for whatever features you need, the jellyfin developers are really down to Earth. I've gotten them to implement multiple features I've wanted. There's like three or four music apps at this point, one of them might have the feature you want, or might be willing to implement it because it sounds like a no-brainer. Gelli seems promising if you're on Android, it has gapless playback and caching on its feature list. But yeah if everything you have already works and it's not costing you more money, there's no reason for anyone to even think about switching. I switched to jellyfin because it was the first to implement AV1 support, and so far I have no reason to switch back to plex. I'd double have no reason to switch if they tried charging me more or injecting ads. As for "more users = more developers", it seems pretty reasonable to assume a project with 1,000 users will have less potential developers than one with 1,000,000 users. Especially when it's not something that goes under the hood like a js library or whatever lol
  4. Realistically, Plex probably doesn't want to rock the boat. They know the second they start trying to charge more, renege on lifetime passes, or inject ads, they're going to start losing people to jellyfin (and maybe emby). It's a snowball effect. The more people on jellyfin, the more developers. The more developers, the better the apps and features become. Jellyfin is already at the point I'd never even consider going back to plex, so yeah this isn't the time for them to rock the boat.
  5. Reading plex news and comments always gives me a good laugh, both here and on reddit. People asking plex to charge them more money, and even wanting them to inject ads . Like they didn't actually want to get off the streaming/cable plantation, they just wanted a new master cracking the whip.
  6. It's pretty crazy what you can get arrested just for saying in the anglo countries that aren't America. Universal freedom of speech is definitely something that the people that have it take for granted.
  7. Realistically, why does Australia think they can do this? Does Twitter have employees or business assets located there? Just tell them to f-off, Australia isn't an important enough market to warrant paying that much or reducing freedom of speech for. It's like some states in the US are trying to defacto ban adult websites by making users upload their ID to gain access, all it did was make google searches for "VPN" in those states multiply overnight.
  8. I'm pretty happy about this. AMD and opensource almost always go well together, like how OpenGL performance was completely busted in their crap closed source Radeon drivers for Windows for over a decade, but the opensource community on Linux fixed it for them ages ago. (I say they go well together, but it could just be that AMD just likes having their crap code fixed for them for free lol)
  9. It's not just about listening to the music. it's the entire experience of setting everything up, placing the record, dropping the needle, etc. It's the same reason why people still play third to fifth gen games on real hardware even though emulators have been free, better, and easier for ages.
  10. This is pretty simple to me. People that like vinyl like it because it's classic, and might even prefer the analog sound. People that like CDs don't care about format at all and are more than served just looking songs up on YouTube or listening to a streaming service.
  11. Either way you have weeks to get your money back. If you don't find out the card is defective before the ~60 day money back window paypal gives you is up, it's your fault at that point. Ebay and paypal absolutely love to screw sellers over, that's why I always think it's hilarious how many people freakout over buying used mining cards.
  12. More FUD about used mining cards lol. Just buy from ebay with paypal, leave the card on furmark for 12-24 hours, and if it passes you're good to go. Anyone that has sold on ebay or used paypal to receive a payment before knows, they live to screw sellers over.
  13. I don't think so. It would've been a constant trickle since the cards came out, and like you said it would've been all models including Nvidia. Having a sudden dump of 50+ busted cards could just be AMD getting unlucky, but I don't really believe in luck that much.
  14. It might be happening to a lot of cards, but most(maybe all?) 6800XTs and 6900XTs are still under warranty, so most users will just curse their luck and send it in for RMA. Take this with a pound of salt, but I read somewhere that Germany has different laws than the US regarding warranties that might give more of an incentive to send electronics to a third party repair shop instead of trying for an RMA. Looking at this channel it seems like this guy repairs a lot of user serviced cards(replaced thermal paste, new pads, etc) so maybe they cant or don't think they can get an RMA, and that revealed the issue. (Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder just how many glaring product defects are covered up by good warranty practices......)
