Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world
==========
IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta
==========
Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

No need to use Plex
https://jellyfin.org/
I use Jellyfin and plex still has it's uses, much easier to share content remotely for example
Plex is also a much better music player/streamer if you have plex pass with plexamp. Jellyfin's audio renderer is pitifully bad by default, and only marginally better if you modify the factory file to use something like MPC-HC. Also, Jellyfin's album and artist sorting is pretty mid.
Just use Jellyfin with Symfonium
Plus one for symfonium. I'm just wondering how to deal with my 5 star music ratings in plex. I typically listen to playlists based on a star rating of 3-5 stars and sometimes I'm only in the mood for 5 star songs so I have like 3 or 4 playlists. I would hate to have to individually rate songs all over again. Also seems like jellyfin only has a like system...
Or use Symfonium with Navidrome
I’m guessing Symfonium doesn’t have custom DJ modes and automatic music mixes based on your local library and past listening habits? Their website doesn’t mention.
The DJ modes and track/album radio and artist mixes are what sold me on Plexamp.
Don't know what DJ modes are but it has automatic mixes. Just try it I guess.
Probably can’t, I’m on iOS; it looks to be Android only. Airplay is also a fairly important feature for me, since Airplay and DLNA are the main ways I send my music to devices.
Re: DJ modes, Plex does a full sonic analysis (ala Musicbrainz) of your music and uses this for mixes and DJs, for doing things like adding sonically similar songs into your set list or doing a sonic adventure every few tracks. It also uses metadata for stuff like playing tracks from the same artist, or same era (e.g 1990s).
The features make for very dynamic automatic playlists that work well and flow smoothly both within and between different genres.
I have debated getting a lifetime plex pass for a few reasons, I might when it's next on sale but I'm not fully decided on it yet. I have been using Plexamp recently to listen to audiodramas though, sorting through stuff like that with anything other than the file structure I have already set up just really does not work for me
I prefer Jellyfin for just watching stuff on my TV streamed from my computer though
How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.
I said easier, setting up a vpn for my family to be able to remotely access my media on their TV is no where near as easy as setting up a Plex server and sharing it that way
Port forwarding doesn't require VPN.
Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?
You shouldn't be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that's why.
Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.
Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.
Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.
VPN reduces streaming performance because of the encryption though
Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.
I am in a situation where I can't open up ports manually (or access my router at all) so it's definitely not manual
Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
What paid plex subscription? For the record I'll probably look into that later but I have never once given plex money
Plex Pass https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/
But I was mistaken on which features were locked behind the paywall. They charge for hardware transcoding but it sounds like sharing doesn't require the subscription.
