For those who want something like Plex used to be (self hosted, simple, fast, beautiful, no bullshit spam), definitely check out Emby. I’ve been using it for years and it’s fantastic!

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!
That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!
Curry or cheese+mayo for me but honestly all of these are great
Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I haven’t been tempted back
I miss FBF
Appreciate the transparency here, keep up the great work <3
Oof. I feel there’s a lot more of this kinda stuff to come…
Yup, I’ve done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit’s app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone…
Can see you from my local instance :)
I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!
Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!
Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(
iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though
Free is always the best price! I’ve been using a Sonarr/SABnzbd/Emby setup on my home built NAS (unRAID) for about 7 years now. Until recently I had about 9.5TB of shows but then got ransomwared :(. Got about 4 of it back now and counting!
Try using a different sort - “Hot: Day” is sometimes better than “Active”.
Good point - I did find torrents a lot more fiddly to set up though.
At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!
It seems like PeerTube does allow peer to peer streaming of watched videos too, so that might help mitigate the bandwidth requirements. The storage and transcoding requirements will be far larger than things like Lemmy though, agreed.
Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.
