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 tried Jellyfin two years ago and was so fed up troubleshooting the installation that I swore it off. Tried it again a few months ago and it worked flawlessly! Now I host movies, shows, music, ebooks, and audiobooks for a handful of friends and family. My jellyfin instance is probably siphoning $120/month from Netflix's subscription revenue lol

    How well do ebooks & audiobooks work on jellyfin? I'm an emby user, and while I love it a lot, it's not great for audiobooks & there's functionally no ebook support... you can see ebooks in their library but not even open them.

    I have audiobookshelf too which handles both, but I'm also always looking for ways to cut down on excess stuff to have to worry about or maintain
