I am a faithful Plex lifetime user and have never had problems.

That said, I shouldn't be blinded by convenience. I hear jellyfin is a good alternative. Can someone share

- how easy is it to administer for clients outside of my network or possibly even outside my country?

- how good is the app support? I transcode all of my media to AAC and h264 for compatibility

-what about for streaming music? I really like Plex amp

- what do you like the most about jellyfin

- what do you miss most about Plex?

Thank you.

I ran plex for years but gave up once they started tracking all activity.

Jellyfin is way to administer. Clients are rough and often crash. Influx is often the best choice for IOS but has its own... weird decisions on how to handle libraries.

The main thing I miss is being able to download transcoded media for mobile devices so I can watch on a plane.
