I’ve feel like I’ve used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it’s going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it’s substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I’m impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

    I don’t think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.

    However I do love a good debate - what’s the advantages for you for installing apps on “bare metal” (I’m assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?

      I’m retired, so I do what I’m familiar with. You know the saying ‘can’t teach an old dawg new tricks?’, well, that’s me. LOL Learning systemd was rough on my grey matter, but I survived it. 😺

        OK I’ve installed Jellyfin server. However when setting up my media directories via the web front end, Jellyfin keeps telling me they’re not valid paths. Don’t know why that would be as they’re directly on the server and valid. Checked permissions too, and restarted the server. Any ideas? I haven’t rebooted the server, that’s shouldn’t be required.
