I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn't bundle these up.

Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).

    This is a very niche meme. I love it.

    Futurama is also a pain to organize.

    Because of the movies split into episodes?

    I have the French dub, which has a very different broadcast order.

    S03E12 in French might be S02E22 in English, while S03E13 is part one of a special episode (so... S00E04, p1).

    No one had published a conversion guide yet,so I ended up playing each file up through the title credits, to determine the new watch order.

    I raise you multi-language content or a mixed Australian/US-Broadcast Mythbusters collection 😐

    And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that's messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that

    Feast your eyes on this shitshow (use desktop mode if on mobile)

    Wait until you have to match foreign to english naming to match the release name.
    I did that for the first 3 seasons of a dvd pack I ordered and ripped to get the dub iny language (and the 2 rips on trackers were of a too low quality)

    Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.

    Each myth is contiguous in each episode rather than being interweaved. Much more satisfying.

    Also, repetitions are removed and some of the fluff (though sometimes a bit too much of the fluff has been removed according to some opinions I read once upon a time on reddit). To make up for it, replace the missing fluff with the stupidly long fluffy tail of content which this comment is now somehow turning into. Fluffing the fluff. And also, repetitions(!) are removed but also the fluff.

    I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.

    Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.

    So Jellyfin... How hard is it to migrate from Plex?

    What about it? Genuinely... I've been using Rokus longer than Plex, what's the issue with the Roku version?

    There's a new Plex UI that they pushed to Android a few months ago that breaks everything, removes options and customizability, requires extra unintuitive actions to get to any self-hosted libraries, and pushes Plex's Live TV and other junk into prominent UI positions, as I assume the investors and MBAs demanded.

    It was released and universally criticized. So Plex's team thought long and hard about that user feedback - ok, ok, sorry, I couldn't make it without laughing. They changed nothing and pushed forward and now it hit Roku, with no way to decline or roll back.

    They are clearly making a shift to bury the user's libraries to the profit of their monetised content.

    I guess they consider that our lifetime pass isn't enough money anymore.

    Enshitification is here, and I'm pretty sure it's on it's way to every other platform's UIs.

    So yeah, I guess it's time to figure out how Jellyfin works.

    Curious is this is something that is forced on non members. Plex will die the moment they abuse their members.

    I'm a Plex Pass user and we cannot opt out on Roku devices. On Android I was able to roll back the app, since we can sideload old versions and turn off updates.

    Interesting. Mine stuff is Apple TVs and I can pin libraries and unpin the defaults.

    I have some of those defaults on but I confirmed I can still unpin all of them. On my devices it's a column of three dots next to each tab.

    Only ones I cannot unpin are Search and Home. Home is just a carousel for each of my pinned sources. Which differs on each device.

    I rarely use the Home tab but it sounds like that is where people have the most complaints.

    I use discover on one my TVs for finding new content. Told plex I have every service and then use their curated lists to watchlist content that is automatically pulled in via radarr or sonarr. If on pin it, it disappears from the home tab.

    I also have a pin on live tv because someone wanted to watch local sports so I bought some used tuner thing to play around with it. The live tv interface is weird but home does respect the pin vs unpinned status.

    I also noticed there are difference depending on if it's your library or someone else's and if the person is in the "Plex Home" a different concept than the Home tab.

    I think given more time Jellyfin will likely surpass plex, it's just not quite there yet. The plex interface is not intuitive. And there is no sign they can fix it.

    Most people don't have the comfort level to play with the options. I've had to walk multiple family members through pinning and unpinning each time they've gotten a new device.

    I honestly haven't opened the android app for awhile. But I just did and the content from my server was right there on load. Near the bottom was trailers and things from Apple TV. I had to scroll pretty far down to see this and if anything it gave me an overview of what was coming up so I could add them to radarr.

    I see no Plex content, I have it disabled on my account. So if it was there I'd be pretty annoyed, but it wasn't. So whatever.

    Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I've used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it's very useful for sharing content I don't want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn't have the polish that Plex has. There's definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.

    Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.

    Besides, I don't think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc

    American dad being screwy is what got me to finally setup Jellyfin. I was just using Stremio for everything but the jumping around because of season misnumbering was bad

    Personally, I don't care enough. Mostly my kids watch SpongeBob, and I can tell when vaguely paying attention as they watch it that I've seen every episode in seasons 1-3 (the only seasons I bothered to load) multiple times, which would specifically have been when I was a kid watching live TV. And half the time it's on shuffle anyways so the order doesn't matter at all

    Edit to add: not sure if the issues people are describing are Plex specific but Jellyfin required zero manual effort when I injested the rips. All episodes have correct metadata (as two parters, so for example I have "S1E10-11 Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple" as a single episode)

    I am too much of a lerfectionist (metadata) to not care. :(

    Edit:
    Thing is, not every release respects the aired or the DVD-order that TVDB uses.
    So you might have some episode which deviates from the current order and suddenly it doesnt work anymore.
