From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server

These kind of threads always bring mostly negative comments out.

So let me just add that I've been using Plex for years to play 4k HDR files for myself and transcoded versions for family and friends.

And it works beautifully!

No complaints really. There's clients for all devices family has, I have all my files, I can share to friends, etc...

Yes, they've also added a new streaming service. I really don't see the issue, just disable it if you don't want it.

For me Plex has always worked fine. Good product.

How easily can your family/friends find your stuff when you first give them access? For me it’s always a session where I have to guide them:

1) go to settings -> online media sources and disable everything.

2) click the ‘More’ button at the bottom left then go to these libraries I shared with you and click three dots —> pin for every one of them

3) go to settings —> Quality —> Video quality and select original so you don’t transcode everything to 720p, 2mbps for no reason

4) go to settings —> Subtitles and enable subtitles so you don’t have to enable manually every time you play a video
