I’m using jellyfin daily as my primary media server for few years now, even having Plex pass I still somehow prefer jellyfin over it.
Jellyfin 💓
Tried it recently and I still prefer Plex. Jellyfin doesn’t seem to want to display in order of last added. What advantages do you like about it?
Plex keeps getting more tightly intertwined with their cloud offerings. It kept breaking for me when they kept changing the config to disable the Plex online account requirement. I finally gave up fighting with it and moved to Jellyfin. It’s not so much that Jellyfin does anything better as much as it is that Plex kept making itself worse with online requirements I didn’t want.
Tell people about it then
There is nothing to hope, we just need to be the ones leading the way showing how it’s done :)
Me too. Been a user for a couple years now and I think it’s great.
Here’s hoping but they did say they’re moving to their own forums which I imagine will leave a disconnect of questions and answers etc.
I tend to agree w/ this sentiment, but hope that the 2 options, official forum & fediverse discussion, can somehow provide unique value. I’m currently running jellyfin on a DS920+ & about to move it over to a 12th gen Intel-based Lenovo M90Q for performance reasons. The idea is to keep all media downloading/converting/retaining on the NAS & the serving on the M90Q that can access the NAS. Here’s to hoping I’m moving in the right direction rather than just trying dumb stuff.
I have a server stood up for a couple years, and I keep it updated. But I’m still day to day on Plex for waf and for downloads, which have always worked for me. I try to keep up with jellyfin but I think I’m behind on development. For those of you who are daily drivers, how’s it going?
I’m loving it. It’s worked like a champ once I figured out the transcoding settings. Runs 4k smooth as butter. I’ve got a cloud flare tunnel so I can access it from anywhere.
What client do you like?
I use Jellyfin Mobile for iOS on my iPhone and iPad, and Jellyfin for Android TV in my fire stick. Both work well. Browsers work well too.
