No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.

Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.

Jellyfin is complicated? It’s easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that’s not all that hard, just set up tailscale

You’re not supposed to answer, you’re supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I’m not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.

Wouldn’t they hurt use Jellyfin? Lol The only “value” that Plex seems to have to offer these days are the weird tv services things they keep trying to push

You should learn anyway. I switched and I have no plans of looking back. Jellyfin is basically everything Plex would have been if they continued as they were installed of trying to become some stupid streaming service mess that they are turning into

Apple devices definition don’t serve people first lol

Apple died the second Woz was pushed away.

Lmao I didn’t even get that far down their stupid post. That’s some impressive stupidity. Apple is a marketing company that happens to manufacture some sub-par commercial devices that appeal to idiots that like to pretend they know what they’re talking about.

Did this person manage to get anything correct in their long-winded cloud yelling?

This is such an incredible long bunch of misinformation and nonsense…

Jellyfin is everything Plex used to be before it started sucking.

Streaming outside your home network might be slightly trickier with Jellyfin but that’s the cost of security and ownership… But really, setting up tailscale is dead simple as well, and would get you what you need in a way that is far superior to Plex…

I stopped reading beyond that because as I skimmed the post it was just more nonsense. Are you sure you’ve actually used Jellyfin?

I bought one ages ago, but I left for Jellyfin when I ditched Windows. I hated the direction Plex has been going for years - if I wanted a content streaming service, I would have signed up for one… I just wanted a good way to stream stuff from my media server to my other stuff.

Jellyfin is basically what plex would have been if they didn’t lobotomize themselves.
