> Hi everyone! We're incredibly excited to announce that we're launching a beta of Finamp's redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we're looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone. > The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time. Looks very nice!

You forgot the first rule of Usenet: We do not talk about Usenet. That’s why it works. Keep talking and see what happens.


For importing movies: two ways, depending on the state of your existing media.

  1. Point Radarr to your media. It might detect everything. Radarr will let you set rules for file name and structure. Follow jellyfin guidelines. Then let Radarr reorganize your files to the new structure. Then import to Jellyfin
  2. If it’s very disorganized, you might have to organize it according to the jellyfin guides yourself, or script it if you can, before importing to jellyfin.

Because no one creates one that will work on many media types.

The source information and structure of the media types can be quite different, you can’t just add books to sonarr for example. It’s often better with niche tools that to one thing well than some huge bloated software that does everything poorly.

Maybe one day someone will create what you are asking for.


There are some great designs ready for redesign of Finamp to make it much more modern, but development is fairly slow with limited resources. I think it’s currently in closed testing though.


lol that’s funny, didn’t know that was the cause for the latest LastPass breach. I just noped tf out of LastPass after that without looking back.

No I was just referring to their breach in August 2022 where I guess I was annoyed that they didn’t just invalidate/reset everyone’s password immediately. Instead, everyone had to try do to it on their servers, which couldn’t handle the traffic, so then a lot were either unable to reset password, unable to set new one, unable to reclaim server etc.

Also, when trying to calm us with mentioning everything they didn’t think was affected by the breach, it just made me realize that I’m done letting a company like Plex have all that data available to me.

Finally, they have to my knowledge still not acknowledged how the breach took place, just that they have taken steps to avoid it in the future.


From my experience, their communication about the last security breach was slow, lackluster and left me wanting. End result was that I did no longer trust them. In reality I may have been biased and already subconsciously made up my mind about their trustworthiness. Everyone have to make their own opinion and decisions.



Why I am not using Plex:

  • It kept adding its own menu items / sections to my home screen with its shilled content like some annoying TV streams etc. Ever so often after updates etc it would keep adding it back
  • It phones home
  • Their servers has been hacked at least two times
  • They dealt poorly with the hacks so I don’t trust them to know anything about my content or usage

Their last hack was the straw for me. I have a lifetime Plex Pass. I still refuse to use Plex anymore.


Not an answer to OP; I use iCloud, but I still want my own, external backup of that and have found some good solutions.

I previously used icloudpd which I run from docker and that synced all files to a NAS from where I took backups. It works great and I highly recommended.

However, I recently turned on Advanced Data Protection on iCloud, which disables the API icloudpd relied upon, so now I’m using osxphotos instead. It works just as good.

You’ll have to turn on downloading all originals to your Mac for this to work. Personally I had to buy an external disk and move the photo library on my Mac mini server to it to have enough storage.


I’ve always found this classic the best measurement: WTF’s per minute


I thought the first rule of Usenet was to never talk about Usenet.


I did pay for all seasons, but we could only get it legally through a horrible HBO Nordic app with insanely poor quality, so yeah I did also put in some effort in watching the series in a little more decent quality, but it’s just weird how low quality all streaming options were.


Sounds good! Just be aware that Plex has been hacked in the past and handled communications about it poorly, and that it will probably happen again. It was what made me switch to Jellyfin myself, but doesn’t have to be a showstopper for you.


As long as you’re aware that “it just works” with Plex means it is phoning home to Plex servers with all your logins, actions and movies then you’re good to go.
