I think its less a question of the technical feasibility, and more of an issue that we, as users, don’t want more closed-source blobs in our kernels. Meanwhile, the publishers insist that they can’t open-source their anti-cheat code; Their idea being that if we know what’s in it, it will be easier to bypass.

Basically, one distro or a few(at most) may get anti-cheat integrated one day(like, say, SteamOS), but it will likely never be in your standard Linux kernal.

They could go the rought of kernel modules, I would think, but for whatever reason, we’re still having this conversation.

For the prequels, you want the Anti-cheese Fan-edits.

You added a “y” at the begging of the url which screws-up the link, but thanks. My own search had only turned up stale forum garbage. Figured I was out-of-date.

I’ve watched/have the Anti-cheese Edits of the Prequels I-III, and the De-Specialized Edits of Episodes IV-VI, and truly enjoyed both.

I don’t recall seeing 4k versions of either of these available yet, nor am I aware of suitable source re-leases that could be used to make such. Best of luck to you.

Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.

I thought their implication was that they would use the WebUI for downloading videos for offline watching later. Beyond that, I don’t really know or care; Their suggestion was weird to me, but I took it at face value and replied accordingly.

I didn’t say I’m satisfied. I just think this comment-section about Plex’s rug-pull isn’t the place for such niche criticism of Jellyfin.

I mean, I bought the Lifetime Plexpass when it was on sale years back, so I have little reason to change my own setup, but I still have even less reason to stan them at Jellyfin’s expense.

Seriously, one is a paid service executing rug-pulls, and the other is a free and open-source project. This level of nit-picking at Jellyfin is a shit stance to take.

Your regular friends are constantly using your Plex server to download files for offline viewing, eh?

I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You’re in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can’t be bothered to do it themselves.

I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.

Don’t ask me? I’ll ftp before I’ll WebUI like so, but for online viewing, I’ll take streaming please. My kids, wife, and mother-in-law find that a million times more convenient.

Meanwhile, there’s a dude in these comments hating on the notion that Jellyfin’s app will download the Raw file for offline viewing purposes. Please, do not ask me to pretend to care what is going on in that person’s head. In my world, using VLC to play my files is a perk. Gimme that yummy 2x or slow-mo as I see fit, please.

Oh no! Please GOD, anything but tHe rAw fIlE!!

Seriously though, wtf did I just read? That can’t possibly be your real stance, can it?

No idea what Flatpak is, much? Jellyfin is open-source. If your distro isn’t providing you a .deb or tarball to your liking, that’s not on the Jellyfin project.

Fair enough.

… but they did, remove it from the Play Store.

Yeah, no, that’s not even a capability that Google has. Android is not built in a way that would allow them to do this, nor is there any rational reason they should alter it to do so.

Those advertizements tend to be porn, escorts, and “dating sims”. Stuff that main-stream ad companies, Google included, won’t touch. The search engines are not profiting from those ads.

Imagine thinking that piracy sites advertize, or generate any sort of revenue for search engines.

Where does this imply that I downvoted anything for the reasons you mentioned? There were maybe five or six comments prior to my own, and I downvoted all of them besides OPs(which I did upvote, tyvm - funny how that didn’t work out to you noticing).

Less spammy than “trying to set the record straight” by correcting them all, nevermind that, as I stated, I don’t have a better solution anyways, but again, yes, I also up-voted the one-or-two comments that had anything to do with OPs problem, both clarifications by OP themselves.

I’ve also up-voted other comments since, but there have been none talking about Ribbons and Tabs since, at least. Almost like what visibility my own comment got served its purpose.

Things don’t have to be positive to work. Sometimes Loud Garbage can slow the buildup of even-more-useless-if-well-meaning garbage. Well-intentioned, useless, basically-un-true-in-context things only pass one of Socrates criteria, btw.
