TIL about Jellyfin. Is it like Plex? Better? I assume it's solid since everyone knows about it?

    It's plex but open source and without any sort of subscription. I have been using it for a couple of years and never had a problem

    i never heard of it and have been using plex for years. i love that its open source. definitely checking it out. plex has been driving me nuts with all the extra crap theyve been adding. i just want my media

    Does it work outside of the home network as well as plex does? Also, do you think it is worth switching if I already bought the lifetime plex pass?

    It should work, but I use tailscale so I can't personally vouch for it. I don't think it differs that much from plex tho, so if you are fine with it and you have already the pass, you aren't losing out anything major

    It's a Plex alternative, I don't know about better. IIRC it's a fork of Emby. I try both usually a couple times a year, but there's always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex.

    Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say "let's watch something on Jellyfin".

    It's great software but for me it's missing at least 1 must-have feature, being intro detection & skipping.

    If you want to get into them you can run them both on the same library and just compare which you like best
