I mistook your original comment about the alarm clock. I wasn't reading it as the clocks in all timezones being set to UTC and rather that you wanted to keep your daily routine aligned with the daily solar cycle of the time zone you left.
Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over
Right, but I wouldn't want to keep my daily routine aligned to a different time zone than where I am.
So if you're travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven't fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not
Exactly. So why would I want to adjust my alarm to 3am after travelling 3 time zones? I only care about relating the time between two zones for real-time communication with people in the other zone. And I'm not getting up at 3am for them.
Overall I do like Emby more than JellyFin. Emby is commercial, like Plex. I believe the client applications (ie everything but the web) needs a licensed server but they have a free trial period. There is a remote option
And they have a service they call Connect intended to simplify the remote access.
Caveat, I've not really used the remote capabilities at all, I can't speak to how it compares to Plex's. I have streamed remotely through a VPN connection, rather than setting up public access. But only once or twice, and mostly to test the VPN rather than for the purpose of streaming.
I look at it in the reverse. I want this platform to stream at home. If it's a pain to use at home without internt then it's lost the plot. I'd setup Plex with the trusted local network in the config file and all of that, but then I still have reconfigure my clients and then they all get admin access so all my parental controls are gone. Jellyfin and Emby get this right and Plex does not, so I dropped Plex. I ended up on Em by instead of Jelly because Direct Play/Stream just wasn't really working for me in Jelly (that may well have been due to my hosting on a Synology NAS).
Don't think so. Just normal usage. I wasn't trying to assert that the 3a had some design issue or systemic manufacturing flaw. The port just eventually got kinda loose and any perturbance of the phone or cable would wiggle enough to lose connection.
Some real Aunt Wu energy.
