I mean, sure. It's a community project too, right, so turnaround is even longer probably. I know it's not going to happen at the flip of a switch, I'm a software engineer by trade. I'm just saying that Plex handles this while Jellyfin does not, so I'm going to use Plex until this works in Jellyfin.
I was looking into the Merge Versions plugin, but I'm hesitant to use it if it means that it'll go into my library and rename all my files. I don't want that. But I couldn't find a description of how the plugin works, so I'm holding off for now.
I don't think this is necessarily true? You can manually enter the server address without logging via plex.tv, I believe.
Emby also seems to be able to automatically merge different versions of shows/movies.
I've asked someone and MergeVersions does not change the file/directory structure/naming.
Though the same person also mentioned issues with duplicates even after removing the second library with UHD.
In general plugins like IntroSkipper and PlaybackReporting work flawlessly but I'll stay way from MergeVersions for now and handle movies with mergers for the moment.
You're right, it's possible to login without internet if local network access without login is enabled in settings beforehand.
Huh, that's a curious fact about Emby. They must have added that after the fork, I suppose? Interesting.
Hey, thanks for checking that for me, and the advice!
