It only takes a couple of times to realize how quickly something you care about can be taken away and you’ll never see/hear it again.

It still bothers me that I didn’t download my favourite videos before they got lost forever when they burned the library of Pornhub.

From what I could gather:

RCS is not supported by the Android system - probably because Gurgle doesn’t want to (not sure about iOS). Also quite few carriers still do not support it. So if you manage to send a message, you have no guarantee that it would arrive in the same format you would expect.

The only advantage it has is that you don’t have to create an account anywhere and you can simply use a phone number to send it. However, that is also it’s biggest downside, because you would have to give your phone number to other people or services, which is not a good idea in this age.

It may have been a good idea around 2007, but it’s too late now.

Someone please enlighten me. I cannot figure out why does RCS even exist? It does not solve any problems… unless the problem was that Gurgle didn’t have everyone’s phone number yet.

Seriously, If I understand it correctly, RCS requires data (either mobile or wifi), so it cannot be used instead of SMS. But if you already have data, then you can use the communication app you use normally (Matrix, Signal, WhataCrapApp, …). There is no point in using RCS at all.

EDIT: I should have posted this as a reply to one of the comments here… too late.

It’s a great app. I just wish they would improve the list layout by adding edit and delete buttons. And especially making the edit window bigger and resizable. Right now it is so small that I don’t even see the game’s folder’s full name in the path input field, not to mention full absolute path.

It’s not a bad idea but that idea breaks as soon as you have to change the master password. You would have to change every one of those passkeys. Which could be annoying, if you have a lot of them.

Thanks. I did miss that one. I was looking for a “Add to this collection” button inside a selected collection.

However I’m not sure if this collection is visible only to a user that created it, or an admin has to create it and it is visible to everyone?

Thanks. It looks like Plex does have more user friendly features, but still no info about relations. That’s a bummer.

It is really important to know the watch order (even if I had to specify it manually). When I think about it, Jellyfin probably fails even for the simplest watch orders like The Lord of the Rings; not to mention Stargate (Movie 1 -> Show -> Movie 2+3).

Maybe I have missed it somewhere? The UI is pretty confusing.

I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

Examples of basic features I’m missing in Jellyfin:

• Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
• Adding user-defined tags
• Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
• Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
• [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
• No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

I’m really glad that me and my friends decided to build new PCs the second we saw the first rise in RAM prices. It would have been hard to survive this on our 7-10 years old builds.
