Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    Sort of, I guess? It probably would be very different if I’d been naming them in a way that works for jelly from the start, but it’s just a massive undertaking at this point to… retrofit, for lack of a better term coming to mind.

    I was under the impression they used the same agent for metadata, but they must not, or there must be some changes in how Plex handles stuff.

      Gotcha. I hear you can run a utility outside of Plex to do the conversion, but I do have the luxury in this case of starting from scratch, myself.

        Good to know, I’ll have to look into that. I’d like my jelly set up for the very few highly technical people I know who can manage their own connections (I got my limited technical skills somewhere!!), as well as my own home use, so thats helpful. Also to have a backup option for the person I care enough about to manage a VPN for (literally one person, but I also want them to have access to my calibre database as well as share folders for GOG games, and they are with it enough to learn what I teach them for maintaining the connection)

        Im not sure exactly when I became a data hoarder, but I certainly am now, and more tools are good. Thanks for that info :)
