Am I the only one who thinks jellyfin is not only superior to pure, but also way more intuitive to setup? I still don’t understand how plexs routing works, and why I need a central account in order to connect to my own server.
Is it more intuitive to set up for remote streaming to friends…? That’s the use case here and as far as I know the answer is a big “no”.
If you have a static IP it’s super easy. If you don’t, it’s less easy, but you should configure Plex the same way if you don’t want to use their proxy, which lowers the speed anyway.
pretty easy with tailscale
Explain how you connect your in-laws roku to Jellyfin with tailscale.
forgot most of you here are americans, roku isn’t a thing in my country. everyone who i share to uses a pc, htpc, phone or tablet for that
Roku is also a thing in Europe.
Though I also gave up trying to set up Tailscale for people and just exposed Jellyfin (behind a reverse proxy).
Guess what I didn’t have to setup with plex? That’s right, a reverse proxy.
Now you do have to, unless you pay for Plex and its convenience.
Step one: get your in-laws a cheap Apple TV from whatever site you use for used electronics. Or even a new one.
Step one: you buy it and send it to me if you’re so bent on people running Jellyfin.
I’m only bent on people running software on shit hardware. Roku is bottom barrel crap along with cheap TV sticks.
Lol
Edit: honestly, I could start itemizing why this person’s response is terrible, but all it feels like it deserves is “lol”.
Love jellyfin, super easy to install on my proxmox server. Its been running for nearly a year now, no problems. ❤️
Same. The setup was super easy.
Probably not the only one, but configuring your server for outside access is way easier with Plex.
Since I mainly use these services for streaming my music collection (long time cd collector), I declare that Plexamp is simply superior to jellyfin. It is really awesome and feature-rich and jellyfin does not even come close to Plexamp regarding music in my opinion.
Have you checked out the Finamp app? It’s to Jellyfin what Plexamp is to Plex. It’s much better for music that Jellyfin proper.
Yes, and it’s nowhere close to PlexAmp. Have you ever used PlexAmp?
Yea, I come from Plex. Why do you ask?
Then you’d know that FinAmp doesn’t have a quarter of the features of Plexamp.
