Jellyfin is great. For me, the only thing missing is sharing libraries.

Jellyfin works great. Supports my 7.1 Atmos setup with the right media even, very slick, no issues

Can you elaborate on what you mean by sharing libraries?

Been using jellyfin for like 2ish years, no complain.

Jellyfin-mpv-shim is great.

Jellyfin 12 should be able to use a Plex media library using Plex naming conventions, no renaming required.

This will reduce the switching workload, and you can run both services at the same time whilst trying out Jellyfin.

As someone who was late to the game, I never even considered Plex and have been totally satisfied with Jellyfin. Is there anything better about Plex?

Should an Emby premiere user consider moving to Jellyfin?
