Plex is actually worse to navigate and filled with ads and shit. The issue I had: Jellyfin experience is a better on Firestick and Chromecast than it is on Roku, but the difference has been shrinking fast due to contributions from someone named 1hitsong on GitHub.

If you're purely using the desktop app, or browser then it's better. But Plex just works in every aspect. Subtitles, transcoding, sharing libraries. Have had no issues or weird bugs.

But it's a project if you want to setup lots of stuff.

Jellyfin is more basic and easy for people who only want movies/tv. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 10 months ago I've been using Emby for a few weeks now, and the only thing I dislike is having to pay to get subs. Not a dealbreaker though, just slightly anoying that I have to find them myself. permalink fedilink source parent [–] killerscene@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago ive never used Emby, and Kodi i havent used for quite some time, maybe almost 15 years. aside from it probably being quite different from when i used it it worked well at the time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago We're using Emby set up on a container with GPU passthrough. Used to be on a Synology, but that absolutely sucked for transcoding and now just hosts the library. Does the job and does it well with a little extra setup for subtitles (extensions, API keys etc). Subs are a must as I can barely hear shit. Apps work well, as does the web interface. Sometimes struggles with the highest quality files (hardware limitations rather than software), but 1080p is fine for our use. Haven't needed to look into anything else, no dealbreakers yet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zetta@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 child) I've tried to use Jellyfin every year or two for the past six years to replace Plex, but it sadly just isn't there. It's not good in a lot of aspects, especially when it comes to full bitrate 4K HDR movies (100GB movie files), HDR tone mapping, and especially subtitles (which I always have on). Also, I'm pretty sure on their GitHub page there's like a huge list of some significant or moderate security vulnerabilities that have been known for many years and are never going to get fixed due to breaking compatibility with some old devices if their fixed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago* Wait, Jellyfin had HDR tone mapping before Plex didn't it? In my case running them both side by side, Jellyfin is as least reliable and fast, which is a lot more important when I am thousands of miles away and just want to watch something. permalink fedilink source parent [–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago Devil's advocate, it's missing a lot of features that aren't available unless you want to spend 12 hours playing with add-ons. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Runaway@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) Set up ease is highly variable.

[–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (2 children) How big is your library? 1min is excessive but I also noticed jellyfins search getting slower with an increasing amount of shows and movies. There's projects like jellysearch which improve search noticeably. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] brenstar@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) My library is roughly 40TB in size. I think the main issue is just the shear amount of files to parse when it comes to my music library.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 10 months ago I started using NixOS and it has been ridiculously easy. In your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix: services.jellyfin.enable = true; If you need more options, just search. permalink fedilink source parent
