Perfectly set up the plug for Jellyfin!

I waited way longer than I should have to migrate. In many cases you don't even need to change anything, just mount your media into jellyfin and it will read everything. Give it time to build out a cache of course. I've been way, way happier with Jellyfin than I was with Plex.



I tried it and went back to plex. It's not bad but lacks polish in its client apps. It's a good effort but plex is still ahead, I have in mind to revisit it though cause I don't feel like plex will stick around for much longer.


How is it for CPU usage/general snappiness? Maybe I should bite the bullet too.


Pretty good in my experience. It takes about 10 seconds to start up but once it's warm it's snappy. It ran easily on my pi (without on the fly transcoding of course), although I did move it to a desktop so I could use runtime transcoding because I have a couple clients that don't support all the codecs.


I just tried it as well, thanks! I like it a lot, though I disabled transcoding (all my clients seem OK with the codecs and I just don't like it). I'm switching over to it now!
