I also do this. But I do not necessarily think it as a bad thing.

I do not need to finish the book in one sitting, it’s fine to wander, I usually just just went on a tangent on a relevant topic though. Reading for an hour is fine, as is a 5 minute session.

Maybe immersing myself reading books just not that fun for me. But I can sit for hours studying music even without touching my instruments, just reading the chart and analysing the harmony and what not. I think reading like any other skill, needs training and I just haven’t give it enough time.

I’m a late millennial, and like it or not I’m used to being able to access relevant context and information with just a click (like Wiki).

Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn’t have to

I thought there’s an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don’t think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don’t want it.

My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don’t know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it’s usable, that’s a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that’s a problem for future me.

I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

Pretty much yeah, I really don’t wanna mess with the music library

Thanks for the answer.

I think I’ll give it a try then.

Is there any consensus which client is better for desktop and android ?

Thank you.

Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don’t mind.

I don’t have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don’t need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.
