I can’t recall offhand. What I will say, though, is that your PS4 is not designed to be a streaming device. It can utilize streaming apps, but that is not its purpose or focus. The apps available on its platform will always be a step behind those for dedicated streaming devices such as Firestick, Roku, Chromecast, AppleTV, or specific streaming apps on a smart TV.

If you are concerned about data harvesting, you should migrate away from Plex and onto something open source like Jellyfin overall. Once Plex closed their code and pushed towards monetization, they began harvesting data just like any other streaming service. That said, there is no Jellyfin app on PS4, but it is fully accessible through the PS4. Again, however, your PS4 is not really meant to be your all-encompassing streaming platform. A Roku or Firestick is very cheap, it is designed to only stream apps, both of Jellyfin, and Plex if you need to continue on that path, and will provide a far better viewing experience than a PS4.

Dude…what’s your CashApp? A Firestick costs like $20.

Getting those Office Space vibes.

Before I get on a plane (and when I’m too cheap to pay for the in-air wifi) I’ll download directly from Jellyfin onto my device before getting on the plane. VLC will play just about anything that you’ve got running on Jellyfin from there.

Currently, everything is setup on my main desktop which is currently on a battery backup as well as my modem and router since we occasionally have a “blink” in the power which could frack up my entire setup. I’ll move to a proper NAS setup with a mini-PC eventually, but it’s not a priority.

I use Jellyfin as a whole “Netflix” experience, where the library is always expanding and nothing ever leaves the library unless I just get annoyed (looking at you, Netflix ATLA). I’ve got about 20TB of space spread across three drives and backups of everything, so whatever sparks my whimsy to add to the library gets added. Someone quips, “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” and I think, “Hm…maybe I should Battlestar Galactica to my Jellyfin?” I add it, and it’s just there whenever I’m ready.

I’ve shared with 8 friends and family so far. They don’t all use it constantly; some forget about it, some watch it all day and night for like 5 days in a row, some ask for something and watch immediately, others ask for stuff and don’t watch ever.

I have to add that Jellyfin has actually been life-changing for me. Prior to Jellyfin, my solution was a cheap laptop attached to each TV in the house that held a fair amount of my total content via smaller external drives, and there was no cohesiveness, so I could never “get into” shows because I’d have to remember where I’d left off, and make sure the files were copied to the relative laptop, or somehow try to stream from the main desktop through Windows Network which didn’t always connect.

Now, have access to every single part of my collection on all three TVs, and share with my friends and family who have given up on paying for 7 different streaming apps, and also I have access to everything when I travel.

I just wish that I was adept in some language so I could actively help with a project I love so much. ☺️

How does this app work given the API costs? How does it manage to not deliver ads?

I ask because, while I’ve currently embargoed myself from Reddit, I’d like to have some details noted so I don’t fall in love with this and then get hurt again.

This reminds me…I probably should do a full backup of my server sometime soon.

I don’t think they’ll extend it, but I’m predicting that there will be some massive bug or security issue found in Windows 10 after its support has ended, and Microsoft will be forced to create an update for it since Windows 10 will retain such high market share.

Not sure why so many companies are so focused on making a miserable user experience these days. I know it’s mainly about appeasing shareholders, but it feels like there should be a few more long-sighted people in the mix who can see this backfire in the end.

I don’t think I understand your original question then.

If you want your jellyfin on your own domain like Oliper202020.com, that requires owning a domain which requires registration which incurs a cost.

If you don’t want to pay for something, just use a DNS service to redirect through their domain instead.

Yeah you create the subdomain and use their domain. It’s a free DNS service that prevents you from having to buy your own domain and host and setup all the DNS security yourself.

Have you thought about using DuckDNS.org?

I run mine through them (it’s free) because I couldn’t work through using my own hosting since my host makes things super complicated.

Yeah, but I’ve been using the Jellyfin app on the Roku for my older “dumb” TVs, so I’m just fracked at this point.

That said, the webOS Jellyfin app is finally available for all webOS TVs, so at least I can go straight to JF on one TV.

Sounds like we need to start developing ad-blockers based directly within the OS.

I talked to Him the other day. He’s cool with it.

Evernote is “dead”.

Try Joplin if you haven’t already. !joplinapp@sopuli.xyz

It is similar to Evernote and you can set up the sync on another service like Dropbox or even your self-hosted solution. You can also pay them a few bucks a month for their hosting services.

Joplin has a good iOS app as well as apps for nearly all other platforms. I migrated from Evernote to Joplin after Evernote practically doubled their prices and then switched their free option down to a single notebook and could not be happier.

Can you post a screenshot for the location for them save in your Settings?

I used to downvote them. Now I just nothing them.

Most LGs can be set up without internet at all.

Which clients do you see missing, though?

I think this might have been the case when Jellyfin originally forked from Emby, but not so much today.

I know exactly what it is. I was able to “sort of” run a couple Android apps, but it never took advantage of the fact that my laptop has a touchscreen, even when in “tablet mode” and the second time I attempted to use it, I needed to verify on the Android phone again. I’ve had better success with the likes of Bluestacks or Memu.

Like I said, though, the vast majority of apps are useless anyway and a Windows-based alternative usually exists that performs better.
