This dude federates

😉

through a website

I access it via the app on my LG TV with WebOS, so not technically a website but yeah, over the network via an API at least 👍

complications 😅

The lang attribute exists for other elements, but not on the script tag. 👍

Yeah the - 1 + 1 was weird to me too, serves no purpose.

I can see how choosing a new random number for each fetch would prevent the server from caching the response, I suppose.

I can’t imagine this code was written in any other fashion than completely rage-induced, with shaking fingers and high blood pressure. 😂 What a putz.

Uh huh. Exactly.

The type attribute is not only to specify the language. It’s like one case out of several. It definitely matters in those contexts where you want to do the other things you can do with the type attribute.

Expert dev. Doesn’t even know the attribute for setting the language in the script tag is type, not lang. Not to mention that you are encouraged to omit the attribute altogether if the script tag contains JavaScript…

Petty, and a bad dev. Big yikes.

Your first sentence is 100% incorrect assumption. :P

I have used Plex for over a decade, and I’m now fulltime on Jellyfin.

Plex works trash on my TV (LG from 2019). Jellyfin with the exact same library just flies. The performance is just god awful while browsing your library.

• startup takes minutes
• moving between posters takes seconds
• searching is not debounced between key presses so searching takes ages
• Plex on my TV cannot seem to play different audio/language tracks correctly. I select my preferred language, I explicitly select language, I set it to default in the container, nothing. It just plays English no matter what. Trash.
• The developers don’t care about their users. These issues have been reported for a literal DECADE, and they responded years ago but have since ignored them. I reported it more recently, have been ignored for years now, despite keeping the thread alive from auto-closing.

Fuck Plex, they don’t care, I don’t care. Hail Jellyfin, it does all Plex could do and more, that I needed. Performance is great. It handles multiple language tracks.

The only thing Plex did better was duplicate merging. 👍 Not worth it though. Strictly unusable on my TV in general.

How can you be toxic without communication? What happened?

Exactly

No worries, no offense taken! ❤️

I mean, if you do it just for fun and expect people to work with you on it, I understand the down voters. It’s noise for a very selfish reason if you do it for fun.

If you do it for counter-AI purposes, it’s less selfish, just uninformed. 😊

Nice! 🤝

Yeah, I’m happy to work with/around the kinks and bug report when I can if I run into weirdness.

And yeah, some weirdos are inevitably on here as well, I’ve already had the displeasure of running into several of them. I tag them and make sure I don’t interact after that.

Giggety

No idea, it’s been years since I was a redditor now. 😅

I think you’re assuming that a) I’m annoyed and b) I’m complaining to them about it. Neither are true.

It does make it harder to read, but I’m not annoyed. And I simply tell them it doesn’t work, in a calm way, as an FYI. 🫡👍 It’s a service I provide. If they do it for fun, I won’t stand in their way.

I have five cousins, nice try! 🕵️‍♂️

To be honest, several people do that.

Nowadays I tend to let those people know it’s futile, if their aim is to counteract AI scraping.

I was one of seemingly few uses who actually left permanently after they killed the API after ~10 years of daily use.

Same, 11+ years. 🫡 The more time goes on the prouder I am of leaving as soon as I did. Seems like it very quickly turned into a much worse place.

Lemmy is small enough that we all know each other.

I don’t know about this part, but it’s a great place, and you do occasionally bump into people you’ve met several times. It’s fun that way. 😊
