This seems kinda scummy. If someone breaks TOS then ban the one account. I’ve seen for years now people bringing up jellyfin, knew it was coming when I saw this headline. I never tried it because I have iOS devices and an Apple TV, but now I see there are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on iOS/tvos. I may try it out, move if it satisfies my needs.
Been using Jellyfin for about a year, love it. I watch movies and TV shows with my spouse, and listen to my music collection on the go with Finamp.
Works great on desktop Linux, GrapheneOS, and my Steam Deck.
Jellyfin is awesome
The thing that keeps me from switching to other systems like Jellyfin is that none of them have a music app as good as Plexamp.
I also don't think their Live TV features are as good. I have a TV antenna and a HDHomeRun and record shows using it.
Have you tried Finamp? Haven't used it much myself so I don't have an opinion on that
Haven't tried Finamp. I did try Jellyamp but it was abandoned and is missing many features.
There's a lot of unique features in Plexamp that I haven't seen in other media players.
Probably the most unique is that it does AI analysis of your music (directly on your Plex server, not "in the cloud") and uses this data for things like suggesting songs that "sound similar" to the one you're listening to.
It's got an auto DJ setting that automatically inserts other songs between songs in your playlist, based on some criteria - there's a few options. It can use the AI analysis data for this.
It has dynamic fades between songs based on volume - if a song is quiet at the end, the fade in to the next song will start sooner. When playing an album in order, it automatically disables the fades and instead uses gapless playback.
It lets you download playlists for listening offline. New songs you add to the playlist will be automatically downloaded.
They also recently made the basic features free for everyone - previously you could only use Plexamp if you had a Plex Pass.
All in all, it's a really solid media player, available for most platforms (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS)
I recommend infuse over swiftfin. Swiftfin is FOSS, so it has that going for it, but Infuse works better right now.
Heavily agree, a lot of content had issues playing for me with swiftfin. No issues at all with Infuse other than the fact that intro skipper doesn't work with it
The one thing keeping me off Jellyfin is the fact that Infuse for Apple TV doesn't have great support for it yet. Infuse is by far the most capable media player on the device, and it has excellent integration with Plex.
Air Video HD and its server software was so smooth. I've begged for it to return, but I am only able to use it still because I own old licenses.
It runs great on M1/M2 macOS, iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV. Streams all my content without issue every time.
Infuse is.. alright, but it lacks the ability to adjust some things, and I really wish it had a more "list mode" style, and easier setup. I am getting more used to it, but I only use it for some files, where AirVideoHD and VLC play everything.
Who is going to to revive Air Video HD??
Swiftfin isn’t perfect, but Is pretty good on AppleTV.
