I have setup Jellyfin as a docker container and will bind-volume the same locations as Plex, but I was interested in anyone’s perspective having made the switch in the last year or so.

What are some things you miss, what are issues/benefits you hadn’t expected?

    I really don’t miss a single thing about Plex. In fact I switched because I was constantly getting playback bugs with Plex where I was getting no video stream. Jellyfin has been a lot more reliable.

      How’s the offline experience?

      Last time I checked something big was missing, I can’t remember what though.

      I’ll restart my homelab in a month and I have already chosen Jellyfin but I’m still curious about what to expect.

        Absolutely flawless. I haven’t got a single complaint.

          It supports hardware decoding right?

          Can you download episodes and when you watch it it gets replaced by the next one ?

          Is there a YouTube Kids skin for Jellyfin?
