  • I tried setting up Jellyfin a while ago, but ran into a lot of difficulties with TV show matching. Plex is a lot better at grabbing a pack of loosely organized files and understanding episode structure without renaming or moving files, which is great for continuing to seed files that are in the library.

    I haven’t seen anyone discuss this, so maybe I’m doing something wrong? If not, this is the one major blocker that I have before rolling it out Jellyfin as an alternative to the people I’ve shared my plex server with.

  • It’s using an engine that is purpose built for the task, so I don’t think it will have the same kinds of issues. Perhaps some brand new FUN ones though!

    I believe one way it gets around at least one of the kraken sources is by always having either your vessel or your point of view at the center of the “universe”, and having everything else move around that. That way the floating point precision isn’t really a problem, as the things that are far enough away aren’t likely to be simulated to the point where the errors would have an effect. Could be wrong about this though.
