    Maintaining a level head in a frightening situation is achieved either through training for it or a traumatic childhood where you end up desensitized to it.

    I don’t know about this part, but yeah, it’s probably a common thing to get hysterical as the person who caused the incident.

    I remember I was out fishing with my gramps. Went to make a throw out of the boat, and the hook got caught in my gramps’ neck. Pretty scary. He was calm though, so I was calm. But only on the outside. Inside, I was screaming and fearful.

    Everything went fine at the emergency room though. I wasn’t there but he came home with a bandaid, basically. 😆

    RIP grampa. ❤️ Many and only good memories with you.

    I don’t know what a streaming box is exactly but,

    Most smart TVs are slow as shit at everything.

    I don’t think that’s an excuse when all you need to do is show some pictures and text on screen, not even animate them. The video playing part works great, and streaming at UHD HDR 5.1 works fine. It’s just the navigation part that Plex doesn’t do well.

    And like I said, it’s even less of an excuse when Jellyfin doesn’t have the same issue on the same hardware.

    Another indication that Plex is doing something shitty is that the TVs own screensaver frame rate stutters when Plex is the open application. But not with any other app. So Plex clearly has some kind of working loop in the background that completely fucks its performance.

    I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that. Compared to Plex anyway, with its 1–2s just to move a square outline from one movie poster to another movie poster, same hardware, same library. It’s ridiculous. Jellyfin master race.

    Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering? I haven’t seen any as of yet. Maybe one, where you are sometimes unable to back out of playing media with the remote back button and have to aim-click it with the cursor and middle button. Other than that I haven’t seen anything else.

    I am really happy with Jellyfin after giving up on Plex, after realizing they really do not care about their customers/users. We have a bug on LG TVs where Plex is incredibly sluggish, both to start up and to navigate. Even moving between elements on a single screen takes like 1.5 seconds.

    Been a known bug to the developers for about a decade going by the forums. Devs have responded to this. They won’t respond anymore. They don’t care.

    I openly suggested in the forum posts there, that people should move to Jellyfin, and that I was doing the same. Enough is enough. Plex used to be quite performance on my TV.

    Jellyfin just flies, with the exact same library access.

    Edit: there’s a second bug which they’ve known about forever as well which is that Plex can’t select the correct audio track no matter which one you select. It’ll just pick English always (or perhaps the default/main track or whatever it is in a video container). Jellyfin handles this flawlessly. 👌
