Plex could reverse this trend in a week if they decided to prioritize work on any feature that their core market actually wanted.

What more does Plex need? I would consider myself a power user of Plex and it does everything I need it to do. I would think the only thing I can think of is fully self-hosted login instead of their cloud option, but I'm glad we have that option because I don't want to handle the authentication of my friends and family

Having mobile downloads work in any kind of same way. Honestly just offering a download file with quality drop downs would solve the issue for most people

* IPTV support (xtream codes etc.) yes proxies exist like Dispatcharr but first class support would be better * Better iOS/tvOS/OSX video playback (just buy Infuse because it can play so many titles the Plex player cannot) * Add full context menus everywhere. Playlists are virtually useless for anything other than playback in order or randomly. Why can't I multi-select items on a playlist and move them to another pla…

Adding to the list: postgres (or any real db) support. I’ve had to repair their SQLite db so many times. It’s so common they have a help guide on it too and folks have made automated scripts to do it for you.

How do they manage to get their sqlite database in such a state where it would need "repair"? how would psql fix this?

> or any real db

sqlite is literally the state of the art database. I suspect you mean "database server" or something

Combine with a $5 VPS and nginix reverse proxy to make this true for any device, even ones without tailscale!

I’d not put Jellyfin on a public IP, even indirectly. I’d be surprised if it’s not full of exploits.

I whitelist my friends IP blocks, seems to work well enough.

No way in hell I'm convincing them to install tailscale or similar on their TV / router.

Noticed that Jellyfin had inched out Plex when sorting by popularity on the TrueNAS app catalogue the other day (45,178 installs vs Plex's 42,225). The existance of this project seems to confirm that the dev ecosystem around it is getting stronger!

Can anyone comment on the security of Jellyfin? When I had last looked into it, it seemed like Jellyfin had a somewhat weak security model that made me question switching family members to it from Plex.

I run it in a docker container behind traefik in another container. Getting that wired up and working in podman was quite the challenge. Docker container mounts my media as read only.

i didn't have much trouble

    services:
      jellyfin:
        build:
          dockerfile: jellyfin.Dockerfile
        container_name: jellyfin
        group_add:
          - 44
          - 993
        environment:
          - TZ=
          - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=
          - DOMAIN_NAME=
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 8920:8920
          - "7359:7359/udp"
        volumes:
          - ./config:/config
          - ./cache:/cache
          - ./config/index.html:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
          - type: bind
            source: /mnt/storage/Video
            target: /media
        restart: always
        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
the device and group_add were for integrated graphics passthrough for transcoding (very highly recommend if you're containerized)

i also recommend seerr to pair with jellyfin: https://seerr.dev/

my wife logs into the seerr ui with her jellyfin account, makes requests, they get grabbed by sonarr/radarr, which in turn place them in the correct library, and they're identified & labeled correctly on import

Forced server transcoding for everything. Ouch. Thought maybe at least mpeg2 or something would play directly.

You can disable transcoding in the server settings or at the user level. Your client device would have to support the file being directly played of course.
