#2I've been a Plex-to-Jellyfin convert for a long while now, and I've nothing bad to say. I switched because Plex kept pushing their streaming services, and the fuzzy feeling I get from running FOSS.
Jellyfin used to run on my desktop which has a beefy CPU/GPU, but runs fine on my puny Synology NAS.

Seeing how Jellyfin runs on raspberry pi 4 your Synology must be very fast with lots of ram.

How much of your use is audio streaming? I'm dying to make my collection remotely accessible after leaving the Plex ecosystem.

#5I love Jellyfin, but its inability to Chromecast from iOS is a dealbreaker. I think they’re working on a whole new iOS app though that has a working chromecast button - https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin

It might just have hardware support for relevant codecs. They often do, which gives them a massive advantage when playing media files.

It only hosts the files.

It's got 4Gb RAM and 4 cores at 2.2Ghz. (RPi4 has 1.5Ghz if I'm reading Wiki right).
It's certainly not as quick as on my desktop, but it's rare if 2 people in my household stream video from it so no trouble so far.
I have only recently switched from desktop to NAS though, so perhaps I'll notice the performance later on.

In the past I wasn't super thrilled by Jellyfin's audio streaming (nor Plex's tbh).
I'm auditioning Subsonic at the moment, but I might give Ampache a go soon (it's apparently having a bit of a revival at the moment).

I'm running Jellyfin on a recent Intel-based Synology (they also have cheaper ARM CPU models), and it can transcode H.265->H.264 on the fly using about 50% CPU. It also runs in a Docker container so it's pretty easy to manage. I'm a big fan!
