 So this is going to be a very weird video I'm just gonna warn you about that right up off the top and just point out that you know This is gonna be a weird video So the thing that I want to say today, this is gonna be a little bit of a rambly video is that I miss itunes Now I know what you're thinking Matt itunes is terrible always has been terrible It's also the most proprietary thing in the universe and literally has a terms of service that is like 20 pages long How could you possibly miss itunes? Well see the thing is is that back in the day kids just settle in I'm uncle Matt's gonna be telling you a story back in the day one of the things that you know I had was an iPod, you know a lot of us had iPods back in the day and it was it was good But eventually itunes transitioned away from just being just about music and eventually had movies Now I did buy quite a few movies from itunes But I also went through and used handbrake to rip all of my DVDs at one point And then I used itunes to manage that library and that's what I miss about itunes the most because the one you say What you will about itunes it was god-awful software and if you used it on windows Oh my goodness you poor soul. It was itunes on windows is is and especially was Like really really bad. I don't know. It's like apple has one windows developer out there He's you know, he's not that great, but you know, they don't really want to invest in more time So all of apple software on windows at least was quite terrible But the point is is that itunes was bad But the one thing that it did really really well was manage your library of both music You know podcasts and movies now on Linux or at least the open-source software sphere I should say there isn't a very good program to manage movies now there are a ton of Applications out there that will manage your music library like, you know, there's there's rhythm box and other music applications like that That will allow you to fully manage your music library Just like itunes used to back in the day and if you don't like that model There are other ways of doing it. There are dozens of applications They'll allow you to manage your music library But but there aren't any applications out there as far as I know that allow you to manage your movie library It's a really weird like blank spot in the open-source sphere and My problem I guess is that yes, you could easily write a script to do this if you wanted to but I want I want a full-fledged Thing that will scan through my directory of movies put them in you know a Gooey and then allow me to you know edit the tags and move them around or whatever I need to do and also Double-click on them to play, you know, that'd be so cool because it was one of the reasons why I really liked itunes I could go into itunes scroll through my entire movie library find the one that I want to you know Play and double-click on it and it will start playing There isn't anything good on the Linux side or an open-source side that does that now there are some More hefty programs that do things like this. So I could use Plex or I could use jellyfin Those are server client-based Applications that do way more than what I really want I just want an application that I can play movies in that also manages the library, right? And that's what I would really like to see but I don't I've never found one and that's kind of disappointing to me it's one of the Honestly, it's about the only application that I miss from my time using Mac and Windows like I miss itunes because it did Movie management and movie viewings just really really well So yeah, just a little bit of a rambly video I don't have much more to say about this other than if anybody knows it of a Program out there that manages movies similar to a music application, but for movies I'd love to hear about it in the comment section below. Let me know I'd be shocked if anybody actually found one, but you know, you never know So that's it for this video just a short little rambly video Thanks for watching if you want to follow me on masses on our odyssey those links to be in the video description You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the Linux cast I really do appreciate it because YouTube did not like me taking two weeks off because of COVID they have kind of Removed me from the algorithm So if you would like to help and you don't want to pay any money you can just hit that like button It would really help me out if you could do that.
