>>109324297Wtf but i use jellyfinThis can't happen to me
>>109324339>>109324419Time to find a new project.
Hello everyone. Effective yesterday, Anthony and I decided to depart from the project, myself as Project Leader, and he as a core team member. This is in addition to the resignation of Andrew on Friday. We leave the project in the very capable hands of the remaining team who have been driving the project for many years now.Joshua:For me personally, it was just time for a change. I simply could no longer provide the effort (mental or time-wise) that the role demanded, and thus I was not performing my duties to an acceptable degree, facing severe burnout, and risks to my mental health. It was time to step aside. Hand-off is ongoing and is amicable, and there is good communication lines, so there is little to no risk of a hostile fork or anything of that nature. Jellyfin will continue for a long time to come, just not with me at its head.When I started Jellyfin, I thought it would be something used by a few hundred, or maybe if we were lucky, a few thousand, users. We might put a few pet features in, and do a bit of cleanup, but really, I didn't expect much. Now here we are 7-and-a-half years later, and it's the #1 FLOSS media server, a truly viable alternative to Plex for literally millions of server administrators and probably 10x that many individual users, and we've left our parent project completely in our dust. We've proven that FLOSS works, and is in demand.I truly hope Jellyfin outlives me, and I trust those in the team to keep the philosophy and code alive.For the last time, happy watching all!Anthony:My particular reasons are a bit different, so I figured I would post as well.For myself, though I don't touch much code these days, I do a lot to manage things in the backend and with App Stores/etc. After 7.5 - nearly 8 - years, it's been a long time since I've been able to give much of my free time to Jellyfin. My life is changing and I've got other things that must take priority. I am fully committed to a smooth transition, which is somethi
not my problem

>>109324439ng I've wanted for a long time anyway. Even if the transition takes a year, I'm still down to do that. I want Jellyfin to succeed, and it should.https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-project-leadership-changes?pid=73295#pid73295
>>109324371might be a question although "just" writing the code isn't going to stop, there are hundreds of contributors and in the end Joshua for example "only" had time for ~400 SLOC per year. Not nothing but not amazing.
to be expectedwhen you rewrite the entire backend of the original project what are the original coders meant to do on it? Relearn it all? They've peaced out the project is in other hands now and has been for a long time.A more concerning issue is one dev leaving to buiuld his own desktop app, clearly he feels the current one is very shit, which it is, and his changes were shot down.
>>109324297>NFS>mpvLet me guess: you "need" more?
no drama? boooring
>>109324493>A more concerning issue is one dev leaving to buiuld his own desktop app, clearly he feels the current one is very shit, which it is, and his changes were shot down.I like his CEF project so far.
>>109324297as long as my jellyfin keeps streaming I do not give a shit
it's feature complete
>>109324297I always found Jellyfin too messy to use. Its better to just straight up use SMB connection and folder structure from my device to play on my TV
>>109324493>clearly he feels the current one is very shit, which it is, and his changes were shot down.I've seen this with other issues in Jellyfin. For example SSO support is one of their most requested features that no one has worked on in years. Someone tries to start on it and they shoot it down because reasons
>>109324339The guy that maintained the desktop apps left because they didn't like that he used AI. Seems whoever is in charge is hardline against any AI use at all.
>>109324297>Plex raises lifetime pass price to $750>Jellyfin implodes I've learned to expect this. Open source always fumbles at the critical moment
>>109324956>Seems whoever is in charge is hardline against any AI use at all.i think this will change
>>109324297laughing at you jellyfin faggotst. plex user
https://github.com/andrewrabert/jellium-desktop/issues/609>It's a lot more nuanced than that and Andrew is leaving a lot of details out.What is he hiding?
>>109325780finally, something plex users can brag about! Jellyfin lost two developers!Winning!
>>109324979>a couple of dudes decide to retire and do something else after 7-8 years of work on a single project>NOOOOO THE SKY IS FALLING NOO I MUST NOW PAY $750 FOR THE PLEXeat shit
>>109326253Idk how to respond to this since it's so far from what I actually said. You just made something up and then started seething about it.
>>109324297It's a popular project that's much bigger than the founders now. It'll be fine
>TL;DR>People who barely contributed to the project recently are leaving and putting actual active developers in charge
>>109326768you said the project imploded when in reality it's people who are not longer relevant leaving the project
>>109324440>Plexare you for real, nigga? This thread is about Jellyfin, this is like going into a holy church and trying to propagate islam.
>>109326984Will this affect the android/f-droid or the flatpaks in any form?
>>109325780>paid service>ads>on your own hardwarelmao. I've literally got a fork of Jellyfin and make changes to it all the time with Fable. Fixed a ton of fucking problems and implemented new stuff that the people who use my instance have requested. How's that going for you plexnigger?
>>109327519Impressive, white man! I guess you wouldn't make those changes public, right?
PlexGODS won?
>>109324956Doomed to fail then. Sad. I'll continue being a lifetime plexchad.
>>109324297>Faggot devs leaving projectDon't care. Just make sure the streaming app is working properly.
I use a docker version that "just works" now for my use case. it will never change and it will always run. Im totally fine if a line of code is never changed from now till the sun goes nova.
>>109324956>Seems whoever is in charge is hardline against any AI use at all.nobody should be surprised about this
>>109327117Correction, this is going into a protestant church and preaching about the one true church, the eastern Orthodox church
>>109327653same here, wigga. I'll just wait till an update is so interesting or performance improving and then I'll update my container.
I don't really know what the point of this is with no client app for LGos/Ps5/RokuLike you still end up opening your laptop in front of your date and plugging it into the tv. Unless you have the app open on a dedicated device with its own input to your television? can that be navigated with a controller
>>109327724oh she cute
red pill me on why importing the Github project into Codex and then asking it to make new features that I think it should have is a bad idea and won't work? we are in the Agentic Age after all.
>>109328148any other solution is for subhumans
>>109324956Not entirely unreasonable, tons of open source projects are getting hammered by AI submissions from jeets know what they are doing but are using it to pad out their resumes. Maybe they should allow existing known contributors who are trusted to verify and tidy up the code to use AI, but don't allow new contributors to until trusted.
It already works. What else needs to be done?
>>109324439>I am fully committed to a smooth transition
>>109324297From the post linked in the githubDoesn't seem like anything too crazy is happening, I'm not worried after actually reading it.
>>109328148>you still end up opening your laptop in front of your date and plugging it into the tvI did this and she was impressed. You didn't tell her you hacked the hotel TV?
>>109324297MiniDLNA wins again.
>>109329097/thread
>>109324297>Plex dropping the ball hard>these guys not picking it up and making their shit mintAre they just retarded? They could probably make bank with a plex-esque premium plan or something
>>109324297>BREAKING>FUTURE IN DOUBT>WHAT IS HAPPENINGPolymarket-ass post
>>109329857>They could probably make bank with a plex-esque premium plan or somethingthey can't do that because the instant they did someone could simply fork jellyfin as it currently exists and undermine their position. they also have nothing to sell because they have already given every meaningful feature away for free including transcoding and remote viewing which is what plex has behind their paywall
>>109329976People pay Redhat and Canonical for tech support.Jellyfin could market to Normies way more than they are right now. Like make an ezpz version for tech-retards or something.They could even sell a jellyfin box you can plug your TV in like appleTV or something

>>109326984Coding with Ai is worth it just to get rid of the trannies attaching themself to projects.
>>109328148>everyone has an LG tvseverely auistic or retarded? also, you can cast from your phone, or cant LG do that either
>>109324956That's funny because the retard that rewrote the database clearly used AI to do it
Lads, let's just fucking fork this. Few weekends with Fable, codex and Kimi and we've probably got something that shits on Plex.Sure trannies will seethe and plexfags will tap their lifetime membership like the utter dick juggling faggots they are, but it can absolutely be done lads.
>>109324339fpbptranny devs in shambles
>>109333284I'll make the logo
>>109324339>>109333284Go on then, vibebros. Fork Jellyfin AND maintain it. Where's the faggot botting his shitty snailcat edits? Is he gonna contribute or just spam /g/? Isn't this the perfect opportunity to prove himself?
>>109333284There's this, Claude is all up in its commit historyhttps://siloserver.org/There's also some projects that are like Jellyfin + Stremiohttps://github.com/lostb1t/remuxhttps://github.com/godver3/mediastormhttps://hound-media-server.github.io/hound-site/Been meaning to try them at some point
>>109333743>AND maintain itusecase for maintaining some thing that JustWerks?

>>109324297oh noes, another autism project collapsing due to autism, how does this keep happening to me
>reading the actual forum thread vs reading the bullshit here4chan is so retarded and useless. Literally nothing but manufactured outrage and bait posting. These HAVE to be bots
>>109335853switching to plex right now chud
>>109335279basedwish i was smart enough to set it up teehee
jpvenson and crobibero are working hard
>>109326984the issue linked by the guy who took his project unofficial was opened by someone who literally never contributed
>>109334202I'll keep an eye on this, it looks promisingthe very fact that it's using an actual database is enough for me to want to jump ship
>>109335279real men use wireguard
>>109324297clickbait subject and post; they're moving on, as people are allowed to, and have others to step in to replace them.>>109324297>What is happening with this project?you are a moron
