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.
Start it up before you go to bed. If it isn’t indexed when you wake up, it’s just not going to work for you.
Jellyfin is pretty good about preserving the index; you only really pay a cost during that first start up, or if you shuffle content around on the storage. Otherwise, it only indexes new stuff, which should be mostly not noticeable.
