Unpopular but I’ve tried hard to switch to JF cold-turkey, twice, and both times it looks and acts like a hobby project. It’s so far behind the curve it’s rather upsetting, as that seems to be the ‘best’ we have for foss options.

Settings (all of them, global application or library) have way too many options with way too little explanation to what they do. With categories, either use them or don’t, but like 6 categories for everything and you scroll through 25 settings isn’t ‘categorization’ it’s just a mess; can we get a nested menu please. No simple dvr solution - I shouldn’t be required to pay a separate company a monthly fee for guide info. The UI screams ‘my designer is also a developer’ like it has a face only a mother can love. For https setup unless you know to just run a reverse proxy (I didn’t the first time), the instructions might as well be a rubix cube compared to plex’s execution. The metadata it pulls is alright I guess, but by that point I had already thrown in the towel. Oh yeah, hardware acceleration requiring manual setup is just no bueno; at this point it’s like I’m taking a half-done Lego set and finishing it because my kid got bored and took a nap, and because I don’t value my time enough I see it through to the end.

I want it to get better, genuinely, but damn does it have a way to go.
