I’ve feel like I’ve used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it’s going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it’s substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I’m impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

    Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

    Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

    You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn’t have to

    I thought there’s an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don’t think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don’t want it.

    My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don’t know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it’s usable, that’s a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that’s a problem for future me.

    I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

    Pretty much yeah, I really don’t wanna mess with the music library

    Thanks for the answer.
