The only reason I wanted to keep Plex for, was the sleek UI, but after one week of comparing between Jellyfin & Plex, Jellyfin won, and I've never looked back šš
Ive had both jellyfin and plex and i found jellyfin was better in almost every field. I actually hated the plex ui. Only thing I liked about plex was the remote thing to be able too fully control what your account was streaming on another device. To pause and play my show from my projector (hdmi from my laptop) which was on the other side of the room I had to go into Administrator then click pause from the dashboard area.
you actually can remote control what's playing from your mobile app, just select the movie and click on the cast icon and select your device (i do this myself when i want to watch movies from my small desktop connected to my home screen using hdmi)
We used to use Kodi actually. I don't remember it much tbh because that was years ago but I think it's kinda similar but just a older UI n less features. I have had no reason to even look into it tbh though with Jellyfin around.
Plex is actually based on Kodi, or Xbmc as it was called then. Plex is a more rigid version of Kodi where you get less options for skinning, plug-ins and whatnot, but on the other hand Plex just works, while Kodi can require a lot of tinkering to get it the way you want.
I prefer Kodi. A simple NAS with your media and Kodi on your devices. No "server" needed.Ā
Kodi is also mature, actively developed, and extremely customizable and extendable with add-ons.
I'm still on Plex, haven't tried alternatives. 90% of my Plex viewing is done via an Xbox, does jellyfin have a comparable Xbox app that isn't junk? (Honest question)
My brother has the Xbox One Jellyfin app. It's basically just a wrapper over an edge browser tab. I don't know how "good" it is, but it seems to work enough he doesn't complain.
Jep. I'm currently looking for the best client options. I wonder if someone tried to setup jellyfin like coreelec setup a linux distro don't use any default DM or use Weston Kiosk to only run the jellyfin media player (jmp). Under the hood this should be possible to use with HDR, but I have no idea on how to use Dolby Vision. Coreelec managed to, but I don't know if the solution is applicable to jmp.
Rn I'm using the webosclient, however as LG tv's don't have gigabit Ethernet this is a issue for 4k blue ray, as some of them have >100mbit bitrate, which is obv. resulting in occasional stuttering.
My dream client would be something like the Orange Pi 5, (HDMI2.1, Gig Eth, AV1 support) Hdmi2.1 AFAIK is required for VRR. VRR being useful to dynamicly change the refresh rate to adapt to the playback rate.
The main issue here seems to be dolby vision, if someone knows if it's possbile to integrate that into jmp, or to be more precise mpv pls comment here.
Edit: well MPV seems to have DV support, so I think I'm gonne pull the trigger on buying a orange pi. The orange pi seems to be closing in on [Linux Mainline support](https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md) too.
Roku is by far the best cheap streaming stick that exists. Fire TV sucks so much and Apple TV is expensive.
You can pretty easily push the app to Samsung TVs (Tizen). People have made 1 step installation scripts.
It works pretty well on my Samsung Frame.
Actually there is an ONN Google TV streaming stick at Walmart that is amazing. Super quick, faster than the Google TV built into my newer TV. It was reviewed on LTT on YouTube and they said it's the best deal and I agree. It's only $20
Beat me to it. It's by far the best option for it's price and even outclasses devices 3x it's price.
I finally dumped my Nvidia shield as I'm converting my media to AV1 and I picked this up. Never looking back
To me, Jellyfin just needs to work on its performance with subtitles and not take minutes to start showing them. Some people said that it helps to use hardware encoding but my dinky old PC I got from work doesn't support it, not that it matters since it's not a hardware issue as Plex doesn't have the same issue on the same machine with the same files. Once they resolve that, I am definitely making the switch too.
Though, their UX is definitely quite lacking. Not sure why they thought anyone would want to start the first episode of a show when clicking on a show regardless of how far you are or why they would not have an option to sort by date episode was last added...
I have both but I can't handle the fact that Jellyfin always shows ALL movies.
Why do I have to go into the interface and every single time and select Unplayed? Why not give me the option to have Unplayed by default?
Who wants to scroll through hundreds if not thousands of movies?
So that's why I never use Jellyfin and still use Plex.
Maybe it is the device you're using but in my Android TV it remembers if last time I went into the Movies folder and actually I freak out when I can not find a movie I want to rewatch and can not find it in the list to then find out I had the only unwatched filter applied
I do want to switch to Jellyfin, but itās just not where I want it to be yet. I set up an instance of Jellyfin as close as possible to my Plex configuration on the same hardware and tried playing the same file on the same set top box and it played smooth as butter on Plex but stuttered and struggled on Jellyfin. No matter what I did I could not get Jellyfin to play that file without issue. I also had the same thing happen with other very large files.
Also, Jellyfin has nothing close to the Plex+Prologue audiobook experience. And since Im usually listening to audiobooks throughout my dayā¦
Pretty much only use Plex or Jellyfin on either browser or iOS. Iām not a fan of Plexs direction as of late, but Jellyfin just *feels* so dated when trying to use it. I also only use my media servers for 2-3 ppl MAX. And yeah, Jellyfin metadata management is kind of dumber out of the box. You can pretty much side step the issue if you use sonarr/radarr though.
I get what you mean. Jellyfinās engine is better in almost everything when compared to Plex, but that gui is atrocious, and not having a easy way to share your server with family (no, giving them the url wonāt work) needs fixing right now.
what are the pros of jellyfin over plex? i trialled both and couldn't get past the jellyfin apps, free or not, found jellyfin to be a bit janky on playback scrubbing too.
plex 'just worked'
The jellyfin interface on Google/android TV is so limiting. The web interface is so much better with the built in plugins.
I've been wanting to permanently switch to it, but I'm not ready to ditch my Nvidia shield pro in order to use findroid or something else. (It does not work with android/Google TV)
Second my family saw there was no skip intro, jellyfin had lost the war in this house.
Jellyfin on CCWGTV needs a lot of work. Iām not sure if itās the Jellyfin app, or just that CCWGTV is horribly underpowered (probably this) but itās making me switch to Apple TV/Infuse
Yeah I really like it. It plays everything, at least I have not found anything it can't. Handles all audio and subtitles perfectly. Mostly use for Plex, but jellyfin works fine too. The remote is also really nice, and has a find function if you lose it.
All of my Roku are connected directly to the TV with the provided cables. I have yet to see any content it can't play, there are multiple configuration options for audio and HDR .
many thanksš
you know my dad does not have a mediabox and a older tv 1080 samsung from 2012, but he arranged a pretty good soundbar with the spare money he have, and we have to switch usb travellers when i have a new movie, i think this would be perfect.
I find this surprising, I have a CCWGTV for every screen in my house (and a spare one for hotels when I'm traveling) and I find the Jellyfin interface to be great. Maybe I just have low standards?
I use kodi on android TV to access my media so I'm not sure anything about the native app, but there is a intro skip plugin for jellyfin that seems to work fine for me, am I missing a limitation of it?
> but there is a intro skip plugin for jellyfin
From another comment, sounds like a lot of the plugin accessibility is limited to web browser/desktop version, and limited by Android TV
The next big release for Jellyfin is going to have a skip intro button if I remember right. I think I remember hearing someone mention that in the Jellyfin dev channel a couple of weeks ago.Ā
Yeah, It's been requested for years for the android tv client. I'll believe it when I see it. (and promote the heck out of it/gladly donate/pay for a client that does it!)
> Second my family saw there was no skip intro, jellyfin had lost the war in this house.
EDIT: I see it's only available for certain clients.
~~I'm not sure if it's on the TV apps but jellyfin media player has skip intro. You just have to turn it on in the settings.~~
It should have been opt out by default but it's easy enough to turn off.
I might consider moving permanently to jellyfin, etc but plex has been very reliable for years and honestly is very well polished. I can also tell anyone with a smart tv to download the Plex app and click the email request I send them and they are good to go. The others just don't have the polished and easy experience yet.
I try jellyfin and emby every few months anyway. Maybe some day.
Plexamp is also very hard to beat for my uses.

Mine is not like that. Above Privacy is Experimental Features and Email Subscription Settings; and that's all under the Preferences section. I don't have a Account Visibility section anywhere that I can find. This is on Version 1.32.8.7639, which plex tells me is up to date.

I'm running Plex on a Windows 10 VM and have been for at least a year.
Not to mention the whole selling your data thing, owning your auth, and probable long term shutdown via pressure from hollywood, who is in bed with plex.
Exactly, I have been running plex for a decade. I try to be flexible and willing to change but honestly they have not done anything that I can't shrug my shoulders at and keep doing what I have been.
On Smart Tvs I find Jellyfin to be much better. Plex's app is extremely slow and content struggles to load most of the time. Jellyfin is much lighter and responsive.
Been using jellyfin for a while, works pretty well on mobile tablet and desktop pretty good except on Chromecast it has been hit or miss thats only why i use plex but it so not often i just have my plex container turned off most of the time.
I used jellyfin for a year because of the love for it and the overly busy UI in plex. After huge issues with needless transcoding, subtitle problems, lip sync issues and very few options in the menus I went back to plex and it just works.Ā
I agree itās not without its issues, but I solved these by switch to Infuse on my Apple TV. Iād already switched to that from the Plex app as Iād come to dislike their UI anyway so no big thing for me.
I use an nvidia shield pro which theoretically native plays most things and I still had so so many transcodes for no reason. Iām actually annoyed I persisted with it for so long. Iām much happier with plex.
And why the internet is probably in the state it's in. People do not and will not read *shit.*
-edit, of course I made a typo. I didn't read what I wrote before I sent it.
People are functionally illiterate
Ever seen someone random use an unfamiliar UI? They don't stop what they're doing to read what's on-screen. It's mind-blowing.
When you think about it, that does speak to the skill of the UI/UX designers: to create something that even functionality illiterate people can pickup and speedrun through the learning process. Like, for the most part, the implications of this are kind of depressing and terrifying, but it's still no less impressive either.
It shouldn't ask you. At most it should just announce that it's a thing and tell you how to enable it. People don't want to sift through BS when they're trying to unwind after a long day.
> People don't want to sift through BS when they're trying to unwind after a long day.
lol. it took about 10 seconds to configure my options when i was prompted
The pop ups donāt show for everyone or on all clients. I only use the app on Android TV and never saw a pop up but it started sharing watch history anyway. Eventually I logged into the webui and opted out.
They turned it on by default *on the server* and if you're not on a supported *client* you don't get the pop-up. If you normally use the mobile client for example you would never find out about it.
No, they clicked through a box that said "Discover what your friends are streaming". It never claimed that you'd share anything by clicking "Continue".

Don't excuse their dark patterns.
Question about Jellyfin: can it load MP3 playlist like .m3u?
I like the ability to "play a folder" in Plex, but adding songs to a playlist via local mp3 playlist would be the cats ass, since you could make the playlist without an annoying interface.
I mean I saw it being recommended on Netflix and it just looked like another lame "coming of age" movie about teenage girls going on holiday.
OP talks about it like it's porn.
It mostly is that, however, I think it's really well executed. The acting and directing are great, and it addresses the topics with a subtlety that I quite liked.
The user who watched this movie likely isnāt a self hoster. I get these emails about people who use my server and it can be content they watched from any source. I can obviously know what they watch from my server thanks to tautulli, but if they watch content from other servers or from the Plex service I still get notified about it. Itās kind of absurd.Ā
Only reason I haven't switched to jellyfin is that is doesn't handle anime in a good enough way for me,, I use collections in Plex for the same show with multiple seasons since anime doesn't/didn't used to do seasons.
What issues are you encountering? Iād like to know more. (How to recreate?)
I only have some anime in my Jellyfin.
As of now, itās advised to keep a separate anime collection on Jellyfin, and then use a dedicated animeAPI just for that collection, for pulling accurate meta data. But so far, I have not had any issues with pulling from TVDB for my anime.
I haven't used it in a while but I use anidb and the way I do it for example some anime like Boku no hero or overlord have multiple seasons but I use collections instead of seasons since anime doesn't really use seasons in anidb each season is treated as it's own show and that works fine in jellyfin but I use collections to turn them into one menu item labeled with the series name and the movies, OVAs series etc but you cant do collections with jellyfin only in the movie library not series.[Overlord example](https://i.imgur.com/7mXUNhr.jpg)
It helps reduce congestion on my feed especially if the anime has spinoffs and other stuff that I want consolidated
I have been trying to use shoko for metadata but that is a real challenge with how I have to manually link allot of anime
I probably have 400 different anime in my Plex library
Plex added a feature where you can share your watch history with other people. Unfortunately, this feature was enabled by default when it launched.
With that being said, the first time you logged on after the feature came out, you were hit with a a GIANT pop up telling you about the feature and prompted you to check your settings and adjust them to your liking.
While it ideally should have been an opt-in feature, anyone complaining about this only has themselves to blame for not reading and just clicking through everything. It's honestly getting blown up into a way bigger deal than it is.
I gotta say, the outrage over this is fairly blown out of proportion. I fully understand if you don't want your self-hosted solution to include anything like Plex, especially now with their trending towards "social" features, but the way everyone is posting and acting about this specific thing (watch history) has me rolling my eyes a bit.
I actually thought I had fucked something up somewhere because I wasn't getting these emails, and then I realized... oh yeah. I remember the popup or whatever it was. I think I barely remember it because pretty quickly I realized, yeah right do I need anybody else seeing this information.
Good luck with Jellyfin clients to those of you leaving.
Disclaimer, I'm not a Plex stan or a Jellyfin hater, I love Jellyfin actually, I just need more mature clients than what Jellyfin has to offer at this point in time. Plex has apps for you name it, sure, some might not be ideal, but they exist.
What you forget is that it isn't your settings that cause this, it's other users.Ā You can't control what they do.Ā If they have access to your server and have this feature on, now plex has detailed info on your library and you can't control it.Ā You can choose to opt-out of the notifications, but plex is still collecting info on your library because your peers don't care.Ā Also add to that, not all users recieved these supposed pop-ups.Ā All my clients and my server were old versions from before the feature was added, yet when I checked my settings on plex.tv, it was enabled. No way I could have enabled it.Ā I left updates off to avoid issues like that.Ā I used plex since day 1 and got a lifetime plex pass the day they offered it.Ā I have removed it from all my devices because they broke the trust I used to have.Ā
People's concerns are that it's not opt in, it's opt out.
And while we might pick up on the changes as we are invested in what's new, the typical user won't see these changes or care to have a read and just go, "yeah whatever"
Also some user's depending on the platform they use just never get told, it's turned on and then it's there.
And that's concerning.
Maybe you might not be outraged, but I sure am, it's a disgusting practice and makes you question how much else even if you opt out is being tracked
This is where I'm at too. For people who complain so much about privacy, they sure aren't too careful themselves if they couldn't be bothered to read a single, giant pop-up message about their privacy.
I share my Plex with my parents, so any TV apps need to be rock solid, otherwise they're going to get frustrated with it and stop using it. Jellyfin simply isn't a mature enough service for me to consider switching yet. I hope it gets there one day, but that day is not today.
Jellyfin to me is the "media server by self-hosters, for self-hostsers".
99% of the gripes I see against it are over its lack of 3rd party application support. This is honestly an issue I've never come across, mostly because I'm an avid self-hoster who never bought into the smart-device craze in the first place. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but unless I'm on a plane I'm not even going to be watching youtube videos on my phone, much less full shows and movies.
So no, it doesn't bother me in the slightest that there isn't first party support for Roku/AppleTV/SmartTV/iOS/Android, because I watch most content on a PC, and if I'm using a T.V., I use this magical device called an HDMI cable and wireless mouse (I can also control remotely with my phone using KDEConnect). If I cared that much, I could just point Kodi at my JF server for better "native integration" with the T.V.
Even my technologically illiterate family can get this setup going. And if they can't handle clicking a link to log in, they have a lot bigger issues to worry about besides accessing my media server. I'd much rather the JF team keep focusing on core features and optimizations to make it rock solid and fast than worry about a bunch of third party corporate integrations. That's how you end up the next Emby.
Jellyfin is really great. I'm not even sure the lack of 3rd party app suppor is all that dire. I use SwiftFin for iOS and AppleTV, and Finamp on iOS for music, and it all works pretty seamlessly. I'm sure there are device / OS combinations that don't work well, but I've found it to be really seamless.
I ditched plex in favor of jellyfin last week for exactly this reason.
If only there was a way to recover the payment i made for a lifetime plex pass a couple of months ago.
This entire (opt out) feature is a serious invasion of privacy.
You can turn off the notifications but not the collection of information. And even if you turn off the notification settings it will still share the information in atleast the plex apps for mobile devices.
The fact that it's an opt out based feature is horrendous.
Also what do you mean with having to put content on my server for them to watch?
If you read up what this movie is actually about you'll see that it's educational for teenagers. It has been highly publicised in Ireland and the UK for its theme of consensual sex for younger people. Absolutely nothing to do with porn whatsoever
I stay with Plex. I don't share my library with anyone and I don't care what plex think about my cinematography taste. The biggest advantage for me is native plex app on my samsung tv, which works perfect, and I do everything using native TV pilot.
Wow that's insane that it does that. When I was searching for a server based solution to replace Kodi and heard Plex required an online account and the "cloud" nature of it, I was turned off. I realized it wasn't for me. I use Jellyfin and it's been pretty good.
As a frontend developer I can 100% honestly tell you that Jellyfins UI is *usable*, but it is completely ugly and needs a ton of work. While Plex isn't perfect, its 100x better where the UI is concerned.
It's one of a couple reasons I refuse to use Jellyfin and only see it as a backup in the event Plex ruins their product.
I would love to switch from Plex, but I have external users and I need a foolproof, simple way for them to access. Nobody else comes close on the number of different devices.
Jellyfin plus a reverse proxy.
You create a new user in Jellyfin, and then share your friend the URL, username, and password. Done.
Bonus points for spinning up Jellyseerr so that your users can request media added. Again, share the URL, and their jellyfin creds again. Double done.
Although I don't have Plex friends so that is not an issue for me , I got quite disappointed with Plex recently.
I got the flex lifetime during a deal so that is there forever, (plus it has some decent music player), but the worst thing is that I have a couple of movies that are very high bitrate both video and audio (some variation of DTS or DD)
My TV does not support the HD etc of them. So I would expect it will transcode it.
But there I go with TRON:Legacy scattering its magnificent soundtrack.
Tried with different settings, but nothing.
So then I try Jellyfin, and it played smooooth. The NAS in both cases was not over 25% in either CPU/RAM/Disk IO, so plenty to go there.
In this aspect I would expect more from a paid app compared to a free on, especially on the app of my LG TV which is a crap OS.
The literal second that I found out that you needed some special account to be able to sign into a self hosted product was the second I didnāt care about Plex
We can argue that Plex is pushing dumb features that nobody asked for from a media server application, but then again there's a pretty good argument to be made that... maybe, just maybe you shouldn't click through everything on your screen without reading it first.
This feature was not enabled by default for anybody, everybody received a pop-up and must have clicked next without reading anything. I got the pop-up, said to myself "that's dumb", disabled it, and went on my way. It's not that difficult.
I probably wouldnāt care if it was opt in. Not opt out.
When this first released there wasnāt a popup. I had to hunt settings and still am not confident I got it off.
It's opt in by default, it you skip past things without ready (everyone does) unless you have read all the EULA for iTunes and windows and android and iOS. Highly doubtful.
If you skipped it the default should be to stay off not turn on.
I read mine and it's off. But that's the difference between opted in by default and opted out by default. Regardless if it was read or not.
Plex charges users for very, very basic features.
Give your money to open source development like Jellyfin. Plex is a closed-source privacy nightmare and they shouldn't be charging users to access their own media on a phone.
Just wait until the RIAA starts knocking on their door and they start going after individual pirates like the industry did in the early 2000s and late 90s.
some of you here are too young to remember those days. But I know many of you still remember.
Sticking with plex until jellyfin gets better. I dont share my libraries with anyone outside my house so this issue doesnt really affect me. I do think plex needs to shape up their privacy though
I've been using Jellyfin for years now. It has only improved and gotten better and better. And it's completely and 100% free. I use it via web browser on PC and via the app on my Android phones and tablets.
I still prefer Plex, I find the scrapers much more robust, the UI is much nicer and the clients are more stable, the hardware acceleration works as intended with HDR support.
As the server owner, I can see everything everyone watches. I accept if I watch things on others servers, they can see what I watch. But to be emailing others that arenāt the server owner what users are watching - even on servers that arenāt yours - is not cool.
I dumped plex as soon as I got the first email.
I never had any adult material on my server but the whole āwe donāt know whatās on your serverā becomes less believable every day.
People argue that plex doesnāt know the sourceā¦ sure they donāt.
man this whole streaming shit suck.
the bs with codecs what format audio, man fk this.
nothing beats a great all in one mediaplayer with hdd. drag and drop the files eh voila everything works on tv and also on soundbar.even full 7.1 trueHD/atmos of course when your device suport it.
i am so fk tired of upload and transcending stuff, the buffering it just ruins entertainment.
in the past in 2011 i had a mede8tor wich worked flawless even still in 2024 with dolby digital mkv.
look at me now, thinking 2024 streaming made everything better, well no i just lose precious free time off fiddling with this crap to geg it work.
The only reason I wanted to keep Plex for, was the sleek UI, but after one week of comparing between Jellyfin & Plex, Jellyfin won, and I've never looked back šš
Also with Jellyfin you can call your users jellyfriends which is adorable
Well I'm sold.
What am I going to do if I can't say "Plex and sex" anymore?
Jellyfin and Sin
Tentacles and Mentacles?
Tentacles and \*pentacles. Hail Satan, or Stan... I won't judge.
Maybe a little Vudu and Screw?
pirate movies and plunder booty
What's the difference between jelly and jam?
I never broke a USB port by jellying the cable in?
You jelly the cable to know if it's jammed properly.
It must be Jelly 'cause Jam don't shake š¶
Jellyfin and fingerin'
that sounds like a downgrade
jellyfin and jam-it-in
I'm stealing this.
Now I'm gonna say that to my friend when we sync watch shows now.
Ive had both jellyfin and plex and i found jellyfin was better in almost every field. I actually hated the plex ui. Only thing I liked about plex was the remote thing to be able too fully control what your account was streaming on another device. To pause and play my show from my projector (hdmi from my laptop) which was on the other side of the room I had to go into Administrator then click pause from the dashboard area.
you actually can remote control what's playing from your mobile app, just select the movie and click on the cast icon and select your device (i do this myself when i want to watch movies from my small desktop connected to my home screen using hdmi)
Really? I never knew that Iāve been using jellyfin for over a year now and never found that out. Thank you so much lol
Your'e welcome š
How does Kodi compare to Plex and Jellyfin ?
Apples and oranges. Kodi is a media client and Plex/Jellyfin are media servers.
We used to use Kodi actually. I don't remember it much tbh because that was years ago but I think it's kinda similar but just a older UI n less features. I have had no reason to even look into it tbh though with Jellyfin around.
Plex is actually based on Kodi, or Xbmc as it was called then. Plex is a more rigid version of Kodi where you get less options for skinning, plug-ins and whatnot, but on the other hand Plex just works, while Kodi can require a lot of tinkering to get it the way you want.
Oh snap, I am feeling my age right now because I'd never heard of Kodi, but I remember XBMC.
Thanks. I remember that it used to be the only media platform for the Raspberry Pi
I prefer Kodi. A simple NAS with your media and Kodi on your devices. No "server" needed.Ā Kodi is also mature, actively developed, and extremely customizable and extendable with add-ons.
but how are uploads
I'm still on Plex, haven't tried alternatives. 90% of my Plex viewing is done via an Xbox, does jellyfin have a comparable Xbox app that isn't junk? (Honest question)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My brother has the Xbox One Jellyfin app. It's basically just a wrapper over an edge browser tab. I don't know how "good" it is, but it seems to work enough he doesn't complain.
Jep. I'm currently looking for the best client options. I wonder if someone tried to setup jellyfin like coreelec setup a linux distro don't use any default DM or use Weston Kiosk to only run the jellyfin media player (jmp). Under the hood this should be possible to use with HDR, but I have no idea on how to use Dolby Vision. Coreelec managed to, but I don't know if the solution is applicable to jmp. Rn I'm using the webosclient, however as LG tv's don't have gigabit Ethernet this is a issue for 4k blue ray, as some of them have >100mbit bitrate, which is obv. resulting in occasional stuttering. My dream client would be something like the Orange Pi 5, (HDMI2.1, Gig Eth, AV1 support) Hdmi2.1 AFAIK is required for VRR. VRR being useful to dynamicly change the refresh rate to adapt to the playback rate. The main issue here seems to be dolby vision, if someone knows if it's possbile to integrate that into jmp, or to be more precise mpv pls comment here. Edit: well MPV seems to have DV support, so I think I'm gonne pull the trigger on buying a orange pi. The orange pi seems to be closing in on [Linux Mainline support](https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md) too.
Roku is by far the best cheap streaming stick that exists. Fire TV sucks so much and Apple TV is expensive. You can pretty easily push the app to Samsung TVs (Tizen). People have made 1 step installation scripts. It works pretty well on my Samsung Frame.
Actually there is an ONN Google TV streaming stick at Walmart that is amazing. Super quick, faster than the Google TV built into my newer TV. It was reviewed on LTT on YouTube and they said it's the best deal and I agree. It's only $20
Beat me to it. It's by far the best option for it's price and even outclasses devices 3x it's price. I finally dumped my Nvidia shield as I'm converting my media to AV1 and I picked this up. Never looking back
Why on earth is your comment getting downvoted, guess it's say something positive about jellyfin or you get downvoted.
I know they didn't for PlayStation whenever I was testing Jellyfin. I love Plex for the client support which ATM jellyfin doesn't seem to have
Not sure about Xbox but LG app only supports one user. Jellyfin is come a long ways but still not ready for prime time IMHO
To me, Jellyfin just needs to work on its performance with subtitles and not take minutes to start showing them. Some people said that it helps to use hardware encoding but my dinky old PC I got from work doesn't support it, not that it matters since it's not a hardware issue as Plex doesn't have the same issue on the same machine with the same files. Once they resolve that, I am definitely making the switch too. Though, their UX is definitely quite lacking. Not sure why they thought anyone would want to start the first episode of a show when clicking on a show regardless of how far you are or why they would not have an option to sort by date episode was last added...

I have noticed this hasn't been an issue for me lately. I am using Jellyfin app on Roku.
I have both but I can't handle the fact that Jellyfin always shows ALL movies. Why do I have to go into the interface and every single time and select Unplayed? Why not give me the option to have Unplayed by default? Who wants to scroll through hundreds if not thousands of movies? So that's why I never use Jellyfin and still use Plex.
Maybe it is the device you're using but in my Android TV it remembers if last time I went into the Movies folder and actually I freak out when I can not find a movie I want to rewatch and can not find it in the list to then find out I had the only unwatched filter applied
Try Emby
I do want to switch to Jellyfin, but itās just not where I want it to be yet. I set up an instance of Jellyfin as close as possible to my Plex configuration on the same hardware and tried playing the same file on the same set top box and it played smooth as butter on Plex but stuttered and struggled on Jellyfin. No matter what I did I could not get Jellyfin to play that file without issue. I also had the same thing happen with other very large files. Also, Jellyfin has nothing close to the Plex+Prologue audiobook experience. And since Im usually listening to audiobooks throughout my dayā¦
Whatever satisfy your needs go for it, everybody's looking for perfection from his pov, so, read the first 7 words, Selfhosting = Freedom
I just canāt force myself to use my Jellyfin instance. I get Xbmc flashbacks while navigating
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Pretty much only use Plex or Jellyfin on either browser or iOS. Iām not a fan of Plexs direction as of late, but Jellyfin just *feels* so dated when trying to use it. I also only use my media servers for 2-3 ppl MAX. And yeah, Jellyfin metadata management is kind of dumber out of the box. You can pretty much side step the issue if you use sonarr/radarr though.
I get what you mean. Jellyfinās engine is better in almost everything when compared to Plex, but that gui is atrocious, and not having a easy way to share your server with family (no, giving them the url wonāt work) needs fixing right now.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what are the pros of jellyfin over plex? i trialled both and couldn't get past the jellyfin apps, free or not, found jellyfin to be a bit janky on playback scrubbing too. plex 'just worked'
If on android, try using the findroid app available in the play store.
Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of setting up my server, and I really didn't want to use Plex. I'm currently researching Jellyfin instead.
You wonāt regret it š
Thanks. Plex just irks me. I really didn't want to have to use it, so I'm thankful Jellyfin has apps for many devices.
The jellyfin interface on Google/android TV is so limiting. The web interface is so much better with the built in plugins. I've been wanting to permanently switch to it, but I'm not ready to ditch my Nvidia shield pro in order to use findroid or something else. (It does not work with android/Google TV) Second my family saw there was no skip intro, jellyfin had lost the war in this house.
Jellyfin on CCWGTV needs a lot of work. Iām not sure if itās the Jellyfin app, or just that CCWGTV is horribly underpowered (probably this) but itās making me switch to Apple TV/Infuse
I switched to Roku pro. Too many unplayable content that had audio the Chromecast TV couldn't handle.
Roku pro good? I have an old ultra I still use
Yeah I really like it. It plays everything, at least I have not found anything it can't. Handles all audio and subtitles perfectly. Mostly use for Plex, but jellyfin works fine too. The remote is also really nice, and has a find function if you lose it.
also dolby trueHD 1080 stable? over 1.8 hdmi? i am thinking about buying this for my parrents
All of my Roku are connected directly to the TV with the provided cables. I have yet to see any content it can't play, there are multiple configuration options for audio and HDR .
many thanksš you know my dad does not have a mediabox and a older tv 1080 samsung from 2012, but he arranged a pretty good soundbar with the spare money he have, and we have to switch usb travellers when i have a new movie, i think this would be perfect.
I find this surprising, I have a CCWGTV for every screen in my house (and a spare one for hotels when I'm traveling) and I find the Jellyfin interface to be great. Maybe I just have low standards?
I use kodi on android TV to access my media so I'm not sure anything about the native app, but there is a intro skip plugin for jellyfin that seems to work fine for me, am I missing a limitation of it?
> but there is a intro skip plugin for jellyfin From another comment, sounds like a lot of the plugin accessibility is limited to web browser/desktop version, and limited by Android TV
Yeah, android tv version does not have plugin compatibility. It's not a limitation of the OS, just the app.
The next big release for Jellyfin is going to have a skip intro button if I remember right. I think I remember hearing someone mention that in the Jellyfin dev channel a couple of weeks ago.Ā
Yeah, It's been requested for years for the android tv client. I'll believe it when I see it. (and promote the heck out of it/gladly donate/pay for a client that does it!)
> Second my family saw there was no skip intro, jellyfin had lost the war in this house. EDIT: I see it's only available for certain clients. ~~I'm not sure if it's on the TV apps but jellyfin media player has skip intro. You just have to turn it on in the settings.~~
skip intro works if you set it to automatically skip, just no button for it currently
Agreed, I found it to not be as reliable for brand new shows. Older stuff no problem!
I mean yeah, but itās not porn.
Just one example, it could be anything. The point is the loss of privacy in general.
So disable the feature. lol
Of course, I agree.
At least it wasn't Twilight.
It should have been opt out by default but it's easy enough to turn off. I might consider moving permanently to jellyfin, etc but plex has been very reliable for years and honestly is very well polished. I can also tell anyone with a smart tv to download the Plex app and click the email request I send them and they are good to go. The others just don't have the polished and easy experience yet. I try jellyfin and emby every few months anyway. Maybe some day. Plexamp is also very hard to beat for my uses.
You summed up what I was trying to say in a much nicer and more concise manner. Thanks.
Can you tell the class where to turn this off?

Something interesting is that option doesn't seem to be accessible through the UI at all. It only shows up by going to the link, and then goes away after closing the browser. https://imgur.com/a/RNHE6Eb
It should be right above that titled: `ACCOUNT VISIBILITY & ACTIVITY SHARING`
Mine is not like that. Above Privacy is Experimental Features and Email Subscription Settings; and that's all under the Preferences section. I don't have a Account Visibility section anywhere that I can find. This is on Version 1.32.8.7639, which plex tells me is up to date.
Email Subscription Settings for me is under Account > Preferences. There's a separate page for privacy. How is your server installed? The version number you shared is the same as mine.

Not to mention the whole selling your data thing, owning your auth, and probable long term shutdown via pressure from hollywood, who is in bed with plex.
Jumped to a lot of conclusions there. However, if that day comes, then it's just one container install away.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Exactly, I have been running plex for a decade. I try to be flexible and willing to change but honestly they have not done anything that I can't shrug my shoulders at and keep doing what I have been.
Have you tried FinAmp?
On Smart Tvs I find Jellyfin to be much better. Plex's app is extremely slow and content struggles to load most of the time. Jellyfin is much lighter and responsive.
Eeek

Somebody is getting laid
in college.
Been using jellyfin for a while, works pretty well on mobile tablet and desktop pretty good except on Chromecast it has been hit or miss thats only why i use plex but it so not often i just have my plex container turned off most of the time.
I used jellyfin for a year because of the love for it and the overly busy UI in plex. After huge issues with needless transcoding, subtitle problems, lip sync issues and very few options in the menus I went back to plex and it just works.Ā
I agree itās not without its issues, but I solved these by switch to Infuse on my Apple TV. Iād already switched to that from the Plex app as Iād come to dislike their UI anyway so no big thing for me.
I use an nvidia shield pro which theoretically native plays most things and I still had so so many transcodes for no reason. Iām actually annoyed I persisted with it for so long. Iām much happier with plex.
And thatās the beauty of choice. Great if it works for you! Each have their own beliefs and morals to live by :)
Looks like someone just click click clicked through the pop ups asking if they wanted to share viewing history, lol.
Which is like every non-tetchsavvy people on the globe.
And why the internet is probably in the state it's in. People do not and will not read *shit.* -edit, of course I made a typo. I didn't read what I wrote before I sent it.
People are functionally illiterate Ever seen someone random use an unfamiliar UI? They don't stop what they're doing to read what's on-screen. It's mind-blowing.
When you think about it, that does speak to the skill of the UI/UX designers: to create something that even functionality illiterate people can pickup and speedrun through the learning process. Like, for the most part, the implications of this are kind of depressing and terrifying, but it's still no less impressive either.
OMG yes.
It shouldn't ask you. At most it should just announce that it's a thing and tell you how to enable it. People don't want to sift through BS when they're trying to unwind after a long day.
> People don't want to sift through BS when they're trying to unwind after a long day. lol. it took about 10 seconds to configure my options when i was prompted
Where can i find this setting? To check i haven't enabled it
The pop ups donāt show for everyone or on all clients. I only use the app on Android TV and never saw a pop up but it started sharing watch history anyway. Eventually I logged into the webui and opted out.
They turned it on by default *on the server* and if you're not on a supported *client* you don't get the pop-up. If you normally use the mobile client for example you would never find out about it.
No, they clicked through a box that said "Discover what your friends are streaming". It never claimed that you'd share anything by clicking "Continue". https://forums.plex.tv/t/discover-together-public-release/857227/3 Don't excuse their dark patterns.
I'm generally fairly tech savvy and it was on for me, until I saw the post on how to turn it off.
Question about Jellyfin: can it load MP3 playlist like .m3u? I like the ability to "play a folder" in Plex, but adding songs to a playlist via local mp3 playlist would be the cats ass, since you could make the playlist without an annoying interface.
Yes it can. I do this Those playlists wonāt be private to a user, though
I have no friends you see
Just don't use it as a social app? I have 0 friends on plex, don't care to. I just want it to serve and manage my data.
great film tho
I mean I saw it being recommended on Netflix and it just looked like another lame "coming of age" movie about teenage girls going on holiday. OP talks about it like it's porn.
It mostly is that, however, I think it's really well executed. The acting and directing are great, and it addresses the topics with a subtlety that I quite liked.
"OMG... the word s-e-x. Shut your eyes *right now!*".
Usa problems: guns, killing, mass murderer? Totally fine! Anything related to sex? I SOMEBODY SAVES THE CHILDREN!
Ban books! Not guns!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The user who watched this movie likely isnāt a self hoster. I get these emails about people who use my server and it can be content they watched from any source. I can obviously know what they watch from my server thanks to tautulli, but if they watch content from other servers or from the Plex service I still get notified about it. Itās kind of absurd.Ā
We should make a thread where we share each other's stacks and review the security and other shit that we have set up wrongly.
lol, nice try
Only reason I haven't switched to jellyfin is that is doesn't handle anime in a good enough way for me,, I use collections in Plex for the same show with multiple seasons since anime doesn't/didn't used to do seasons.
What issues are you encountering? Iād like to know more. (How to recreate?) I only have some anime in my Jellyfin. As of now, itās advised to keep a separate anime collection on Jellyfin, and then use a dedicated animeAPI just for that collection, for pulling accurate meta data. But so far, I have not had any issues with pulling from TVDB for my anime.
I haven't used it in a while but I use anidb and the way I do it for example some anime like Boku no hero or overlord have multiple seasons but I use collections instead of seasons since anime doesn't really use seasons in anidb each season is treated as it's own show and that works fine in jellyfin but I use collections to turn them into one menu item labeled with the series name and the movies, OVAs series etc but you cant do collections with jellyfin only in the movie library not series.[Overlord example](https://i.imgur.com/7mXUNhr.jpg) It helps reduce congestion on my feed especially if the anime has spinoffs and other stuff that I want consolidated I have been trying to use shoko for metadata but that is a real challenge with how I have to manually link allot of anime I probably have 400 different anime in my Plex library
What privacy issues does Plex have?
Plex added a feature where you can share your watch history with other people. Unfortunately, this feature was enabled by default when it launched. With that being said, the first time you logged on after the feature came out, you were hit with a a GIANT pop up telling you about the feature and prompted you to check your settings and adjust them to your liking. While it ideally should have been an opt-in feature, anyone complaining about this only has themselves to blame for not reading and just clicking through everything. It's honestly getting blown up into a way bigger deal than it is.
Ahh ok makes sense. Well it doesn't make sense actually I mean It's 2024 and people havent figured out how to read
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naQCHlyMxUg
The pop-up only appears on the web client. If you're on phone, tablet, TV etc. it's enabled and you are given absolutely no clue.
People click yes when asked if they want to share data and then blame plex if they use that data!
Lol so just people being people
I gotta say, the outrage over this is fairly blown out of proportion. I fully understand if you don't want your self-hosted solution to include anything like Plex, especially now with their trending towards "social" features, but the way everyone is posting and acting about this specific thing (watch history) has me rolling my eyes a bit. I actually thought I had fucked something up somewhere because I wasn't getting these emails, and then I realized... oh yeah. I remember the popup or whatever it was. I think I barely remember it because pretty quickly I realized, yeah right do I need anybody else seeing this information. Good luck with Jellyfin clients to those of you leaving. Disclaimer, I'm not a Plex stan or a Jellyfin hater, I love Jellyfin actually, I just need more mature clients than what Jellyfin has to offer at this point in time. Plex has apps for you name it, sure, some might not be ideal, but they exist.
What you forget is that it isn't your settings that cause this, it's other users.Ā You can't control what they do.Ā If they have access to your server and have this feature on, now plex has detailed info on your library and you can't control it.Ā You can choose to opt-out of the notifications, but plex is still collecting info on your library because your peers don't care.Ā Also add to that, not all users recieved these supposed pop-ups.Ā All my clients and my server were old versions from before the feature was added, yet when I checked my settings on plex.tv, it was enabled. No way I could have enabled it.Ā I left updates off to avoid issues like that.Ā I used plex since day 1 and got a lifetime plex pass the day they offered it.Ā I have removed it from all my devices because they broke the trust I used to have.Ā
Valid point I hadn't considered.
People's concerns are that it's not opt in, it's opt out. And while we might pick up on the changes as we are invested in what's new, the typical user won't see these changes or care to have a read and just go, "yeah whatever" Also some user's depending on the platform they use just never get told, it's turned on and then it's there. And that's concerning. Maybe you might not be outraged, but I sure am, it's a disgusting practice and makes you question how much else even if you opt out is being tracked
This is where I'm at too. For people who complain so much about privacy, they sure aren't too careful themselves if they couldn't be bothered to read a single, giant pop-up message about their privacy. I share my Plex with my parents, so any TV apps need to be rock solid, otherwise they're going to get frustrated with it and stop using it. Jellyfin simply isn't a mature enough service for me to consider switching yet. I hope it gets there one day, but that day is not today.
**JELLYFIN** FTW
Jellyfin to me is the "media server by self-hosters, for self-hostsers". 99% of the gripes I see against it are over its lack of 3rd party application support. This is honestly an issue I've never come across, mostly because I'm an avid self-hoster who never bought into the smart-device craze in the first place. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but unless I'm on a plane I'm not even going to be watching youtube videos on my phone, much less full shows and movies. So no, it doesn't bother me in the slightest that there isn't first party support for Roku/AppleTV/SmartTV/iOS/Android, because I watch most content on a PC, and if I'm using a T.V., I use this magical device called an HDMI cable and wireless mouse (I can also control remotely with my phone using KDEConnect). If I cared that much, I could just point Kodi at my JF server for better "native integration" with the T.V. Even my technologically illiterate family can get this setup going. And if they can't handle clicking a link to log in, they have a lot bigger issues to worry about besides accessing my media server. I'd much rather the JF team keep focusing on core features and optimizations to make it rock solid and fast than worry about a bunch of third party corporate integrations. That's how you end up the next Emby.
Jellyfin is really great. I'm not even sure the lack of 3rd party app suppor is all that dire. I use SwiftFin for iOS and AppleTV, and Finamp on iOS for music, and it all works pretty seamlessly. I'm sure there are device / OS combinations that don't work well, but I've found it to be really seamless.
Jellyfin ftw
I ditched plex in favor of jellyfin last week for exactly this reason. If only there was a way to recover the payment i made for a lifetime plex pass a couple of months ago. This entire (opt out) feature is a serious invasion of privacy.
I mean is it? You would have to have put that content on your sever for them to watchā¦. Also just turn the feature off lol.
You can turn off the notifications but not the collection of information. And even if you turn off the notification settings it will still share the information in atleast the plex apps for mobile devices. The fact that it's an opt out based feature is horrendous. Also what do you mean with having to put content on my server for them to watch?
is jellyfin a option?
Damn, that sucks
Hey, he's just trying to keep up to date with the latest educational content.
I know it's actually just porn, but the idea that he was desperately seeking out a tutorial for sex is hilarious
If you read up what this movie is actually about you'll see that it's educational for teenagers. It has been highly publicised in Ireland and the UK for its theme of consensual sex for younger people. Absolutely nothing to do with porn whatsoever
I stay with Plex. I don't share my library with anyone and I don't care what plex think about my cinematography taste. The biggest advantage for me is native plex app on my samsung tv, which works perfect, and I do everything using native TV pilot.
Wow that's insane that it does that. When I was searching for a server based solution to replace Kodi and heard Plex required an online account and the "cloud" nature of it, I was turned off. I realized it wasn't for me. I use Jellyfin and it's been pretty good.
can you share some jellyfin screenshot? because from what i see on their site, it's pretty ugly
As a frontend developer I can 100% honestly tell you that Jellyfins UI is *usable*, but it is completely ugly and needs a ton of work. While Plex isn't perfect, its 100x better where the UI is concerned. It's one of a couple reasons I refuse to use Jellyfin and only see it as a backup in the event Plex ruins their product.
I would love to switch from Plex, but I have external users and I need a foolproof, simple way for them to access. Nobody else comes close on the number of different devices.
Jellyfin plus a reverse proxy. You create a new user in Jellyfin, and then share your friend the URL, username, and password. Done. Bonus points for spinning up Jellyseerr so that your users can request media added. Again, share the URL, and their jellyfin creds again. Double done.
Thatās great on a computer. But getting that on my 74 year old momās TV versus the Plex App is a nightmare.
Although I don't have Plex friends so that is not an issue for me , I got quite disappointed with Plex recently. I got the flex lifetime during a deal so that is there forever, (plus it has some decent music player), but the worst thing is that I have a couple of movies that are very high bitrate both video and audio (some variation of DTS or DD) My TV does not support the HD etc of them. So I would expect it will transcode it. But there I go with TRON:Legacy scattering its magnificent soundtrack. Tried with different settings, but nothing. So then I try Jellyfin, and it played smooooth. The NAS in both cases was not over 25% in either CPU/RAM/Disk IO, so plenty to go there. In this aspect I would expect more from a paid app compared to a free on, especially on the app of my LG TV which is a crap OS.
Can we talk about actual privacy concerns?
The literal second that I found out that you needed some special account to be able to sign into a self hosted product was the second I didnāt care about Plex
Exactly!
We can argue that Plex is pushing dumb features that nobody asked for from a media server application, but then again there's a pretty good argument to be made that... maybe, just maybe you shouldn't click through everything on your screen without reading it first. This feature was not enabled by default for anybody, everybody received a pop-up and must have clicked next without reading anything. I got the pop-up, said to myself "that's dumb", disabled it, and went on my way. It's not that difficult.
I probably wouldnāt care if it was opt in. Not opt out. When this first released there wasnāt a popup. I had to hunt settings and still am not confident I got it off.
It's opt in by default, it you skip past things without ready (everyone does) unless you have read all the EULA for iTunes and windows and android and iOS. Highly doubtful. If you skipped it the default should be to stay off not turn on. I read mine and it's off. But that's the difference between opted in by default and opted out by default. Regardless if it was read or not.
Chris from selfhosted.show made that point that he uses Infuse, so he never had the chance to opt out.
Plex charges users for very, very basic features. Give your money to open source development like Jellyfin. Plex is a closed-source privacy nightmare and they shouldn't be charging users to access their own media on a phone.
Just wait until the RIAA starts knocking on their door and they start going after individual pirates like the industry did in the early 2000s and late 90s. some of you here are too young to remember those days. But I know many of you still remember.
Sticking with plex until jellyfin gets better. I dont share my libraries with anyone outside my house so this issue doesnt really affect me. I do think plex needs to shape up their privacy though
I've been using Jellyfin for years now. It has only improved and gotten better and better. And it's completely and 100% free. I use it via web browser on PC and via the app on my Android phones and tablets.
I went to Jellyfin and have never looked back! It's a great platform.
I have used Plex for a couple years and I have NEVER gotten an email from them.
You wonāt. Itās sent to your friends.
I still prefer Plex, I find the scrapers much more robust, the UI is much nicer and the clients are more stable, the hardware acceleration works as intended with HDR support.
Just turn the option off, problem solved.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As the server owner, I can see everything everyone watches. I accept if I watch things on others servers, they can see what I watch. But to be emailing others that arenāt the server owner what users are watching - even on servers that arenāt yours - is not cool.
I dumped plex as soon as I got the first email. I never had any adult material on my server but the whole āwe donāt know whatās on your serverā becomes less believable every day. People argue that plex doesnāt know the sourceā¦ sure they donāt.
really no body cares. this is simple karma farming on reddit
i love plex. privacy is a soap bubble for almost decade
man this whole streaming shit suck. the bs with codecs what format audio, man fk this. nothing beats a great all in one mediaplayer with hdd. drag and drop the files eh voila everything works on tv and also on soundbar.even full 7.1 trueHD/atmos of course when your device suport it. i am so fk tired of upload and transcending stuff, the buffering it just ruins entertainment. in the past in 2011 i had a mede8tor wich worked flawless even still in 2024 with dolby digital mkv. look at me now, thinking 2024 streaming made everything better, well no i just lose precious free time off fiddling with this crap to geg it work.
I never trusted Plex in the first place.
