My guess is that this software would have been highly praised if some of the wonder boys of software had came up with it. All this negativity is one of the reason I really have a hard time enjoying reading the comments at HN.
- blauditore 10y agoWhat do you mean by "wonder boys of software"? Big companies?
- cookiecaper 10y agoI think people are just not seeing a huge value proposition over the current big players like Kodi and Plex. Of course, that doesn't mean the project shouldn't continue plugging away until it has one. :)
- djsumdog 10y agoPlex was the first thing I though of when looking at it, even though I haven't used it in years (haven't had a TV since 2012; just watch stuff on my desktop/laptop with mpv). Still, we should love open source projects and alternatives. I was hoping for more "this could grow to be a Plex alternative" vs "Why don't you just use Plex." I don't think it has to do with the submitter not being a "wonderboy" does it? Do people look at usernames (I'll admit I don't).
