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 tried Symfonium and paid for it, but the Google Play unlock took my money and didn’t unlock it, I emailed the developer and had such a bad reaction I had to report him to Google who said they were considering taking down his account. I have the screenshots of I choose to make a post in the future. But I won’t be using Symfonium in the future.

    I have started using AudioBookShelf for audiobooks & podcasts and it’s been really good.

    I like jellyfin on desktop, but the TV app isn’t great, that being said the streaming is much better than Plex but I didn’t try transcode.

    I avoid anime specifically because of the dropped plugin support so Jellyfin might need to come in just for that.

    Komga is what I use for Comics.

      i didn’t know that about Symfonium, thanks for letting me know. what a rude guy. It sucks that happened to you, I’m sorry.

      i’ll switch to Finamp then :)

      jellyfin’s support is much better than Plex, it works great without problems. i get my metadata from anidb, anilist and the other sources easily.

      i renamed the anime shows according to episode order of anidb and jellyfin shows them up very well. one thing i like is how it can see every season as a seperate show.

      i hash my anime files with Shoko Server and it gets the metadata from AniDB.

      then i installed the Shokofin plugin for Jellyfin and it loads all the metadata from Shoko’s database. i got more than 800 anime shows and movies imported easily without an api ban :)

      Plex was always hanging while getting the metadata.
