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.

- just like any web service, reverse proxy with SSL, it has internal user management

- there are a variety of apps to choose from on ios/android, smart TVs might be limited or nonexistent (LG has a good one though)

- consider a separate dedicated tool for music, like Navidrome

- it's open source, its developers respect me and my users and do not abuse their access to them using dark patterns to extract revenue

- features that they have removed anyway (plugins, photo sync, plex cloud)
