<edit> log in on a local IP and not the network name and it’s working again. but I’ll be moving to jellyfin from now

    Longtime lifetime Plex Pass holder here.

    FOSS is important. Having control over how you use your own hardware and files is important.

    But even if none of that mattered, once I actually used Jellyfin for a few days the snappy bloat-free feel of it won me over. Switching between Plex and Jellyfin felt like switching between windows and linux.

      I have a lot of custom artwork, covers, playlists, etc. How easy did that data migrate? I’ve got 6,500 movies

        I can’t imagine moving over would be difficult. Just point Jellyfin to the same folder containing your content. When I first setup my home lab, I was going to use Plex, but I could not get it to recognize media. The naming format wasn’t right or something. Jellyfin just worked immediately

      Very new to using Jellyfin but I also feel the difference in loading and such. Feels so much cleaner! Already uninstalled Plex :)
