This week I am trying to move my #video library from #Plex running on #TrueNAS to #Jellyfin running on TrueNAS.

First impression is that Swiftfin (the AppleTV app) is not good enough. I have 500-600 films in a hierarchy of dozens of directories. Both Jellyfin and Swiftfin dump all that into a pile called #Movies. So my screen has all 500+ films in alphabetical order.

Things like Monsterdon schlocky films are right next to comedies and drama and action.

I want to see my top level folders like Comedy, Action, Kung-Fu, etc. Then I want to descend into them. I can kinda get this in the web UI, but the TV UI is determined by the app.

Other than that, I’m really enjoying it. I love the collections and the automatic figuring-stuff-out. It’s been good.

I love the lack of shoving stuff in my face. Plex of course wants to shove things into my face.

I’m downloading Infuse for #AppleTV to see if it works better.

A funny side-effect is that #Jellyfin has these automatic “collections”. It can figure out through file names or metadata that 2 films are parts of the same thing. That leads to some funny ones thanks to Monsterdon. I have 4 different Godzilla collections based on the studios. I have a “Blacula” collection because we watched both of them for Monsterdon. 😛
