it lives on the user’s phone?

For some reason the best clients are on Apple devices only, that Infuse and Swiftfin. mpv shim is ok too. That’s my only gripe since I barely touch the actual Jellyfin server interface, it just works. If I had Plex I would also use Infuse too so there’s really no difference except that one is open source, doesn’t phone home, and doesn’t require a monthly subscription.

+1 for the Apple TV mention. I gave up and ordered one to use Infuse, might try out Swiftfin first though, for my Jellyfin setup. It’s always trade offs with the official Jellyfin clients, can’t get everything working 100% of the time with the same setup. I have an Android TV and keep having to switch between LibVLC and ExoPlayer depending on what I’m watching, not to mention the numerous bugs and clunkiness. Like for some reason I can’t wrap my head around, ExoPlayer Jellyfin can’t play ASS and has to transcode the whole file while ExoPlayer Plex can. When you seek before waiting for a previous seek to finish and start playing you end up with a broken stream where the local progress bar and time doesn’t correspond to what’s actually shown on screen. After trying Infuse on my phone, it seems exactly the kind of “just works” I’m looking for.

Is there anything to stop me from pulling receipts for something I didn’t actually put in my luggage?

What’s the input latency like in those cloud games?

> Also, client side damage is a mistake. I’m assuming you mean client side hit detection, as a person who lives in a region where a lot of games are 100 ping, that’s absolutely necessary. Without it players with latency above the tick rate would have to lead their shots to hit other players. While it causes some unfairness for the victim (ex. getting hit behind cover), it’s still the best way to do it but it must be disabled at a certain threshold, preferable where it doesn’t completely ruin the experience for players with average connections playing on their closest server. That said it is a band aid and ideally you would just set up servers closer to players.

How well does plex work on a raspberry pi? I assume you could never encode anything.

Is this supposed to be used to put entire domains behind basic auth or should you use it for specific end points?

Bootup archlinux image, type in archinstall, make sure to select gnome... It's that easy.
