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 own the instance that's running on my own homeserver. It does what I want it to do. Stream my media for me, other directly in the same network, or transcodes when I'm away.

I don't understand. I run a Plex instance on my home server as well. Are you referring to jellyfin not needing a centralized Plex account? Or do most Plex users rely on a plex-provided server?
