End the Streaming Struggle with Plex

Re:End the Streaming Struggle with Plex by jabroni_salad on Tuesday April 05, 2022 @03:41PM (#30923950)

admittedly it has been awhile since I tried it, but a good amount of the stuff I acquire is anime and plex handles it better than anything else, with the AMSA plugin at least. Anime can be a little weird with a different naming formats, multiple language audio and subtitles, fansub preferences, and sequel seasons sometimes having a different name from the first.

I also need to be able to set a language preference for both audio and subtitles since I am one of those subs>dubs weirdos. If I have to set the audio track every single episode I am just going to hook up my laptop and play it in mpchc.

Whenever I look at open issues for emby or jelly I get the impression that anime is annoying to deal with so I'll just stick with the plex plugin that already works.

Mh yeah sorry I have never watched anime so I am not sure how emby would handle that, it's a segment I have no experience with, but about setting default language for sub/audio it's possible, but not sure how much would it help ^^

I've got about a dozen (yeah, I know, not a lot) anime series on my Jellyfin, and also prefer subs in nearly all cases. I've had a problem with them. But, if someone's got something that's already working, they should probably just stick with that.

If you are open for suggestion, there is a software that would work for you. Shoko Server[0] would be best for managing Anime. I like them since they made my anime folder easily to be managed. And they uses AniDB as their anime lookup. Basically it is a cataloger, file manager, file renamer, database lookup, file tracker software.

They have a plugin for JellyFin, ShokoFin. And I believe they do have a integration with Plex.

This replaced my previous setup and it works amazing with my Kodi.

Oh good lord, I meant to write "I've not had a problem with them." Jeez. Too late to edit now. That is, Jellyfin's been fine for me but it might only be because I've been lucky, since I haven't tried a ton of anime on it.
