goodbye plex
-
Also, Plex email blasted a few weeks ago about how nobody can share their libraries anymore without paying for a subscription. That was the push I needed to check out Jellyfin again, and the experience ranges from "good enough" to "that's better than Plex" for me and my buddies.
Yeah the jelly team did a good work and the product work well on what I have tested.

What are you using to watch jellyfin on iOS?
Maybe, Streamyfin? its the only iOS App with Downloads and Offline-Mode

Why all those VMs instead of containers?
it's just what i'm comfortable with. started playing with linux servers before docker existed. i've got frigate and authentik running in docker, but if i have the option to run something outside docker i still prefer that.
-
after almost 15yrs my plex server is no more. jellyfin behind nginx with authentik is running very nicely.
How did you set up Jellyfin with Authentik? Are you using SSO or is it only through LDAP?

Long time Jellyfin user here, welcome on board. I think biggest hurdle I should newbies warn about is the lack of availability on TizenOS.
Its possible but needs some extra steps.

I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.
Even if they sparkle.

i ended up doing both. ldap for the apps. oidc for web based users and the apps that support the quick connect feature. the local user account system works fine too, and ldap would be enough. i just wanted an excuse to play round with sso systems, and it was fun figuring out how to connect all my servers.
authenik has a good docs site for both it's docker container and connecting it to jellyfin. Authelia looked interesting too.

not OP, but this has reared its ugly face once or twice with my friends.
i have been running into another issue, though it may be a firefox issue: playing some filetypes fail to play on web browser but work fine on jellyfin app (i believe my settings are correct for hardware decode on server where it can)
i still have to put some time into figuring it out tho (havent really done my research yet)

What are you using to watch jellyfin on iOS?
Can also use the web client
-
And Plexamp.
And a decent AppleTV app.
There's plugins that can replace Plexamp

How do you keep all your virtual machines up-to-date? Or are those containers?
Unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic

I've actually had the opposite issue where it runs fine on my web browser but does not play on my TV.

So it does the Sonic adventure on mobile in a free app? And has offline storage? And has a station creator?

I find Jellyfin’s subtitle search much better than Plex’s. Bonus for leaving a subtitle file right along with your file, instead of buried somewhere else so you can’t easily edit it.
Get Bazarr so you never have to worry about subtitle searching again.

I've heard jellyfin has a lot of security issues, which I don't know if that's accurate or not. But the BIGGEST issue is lack of a proper tvOS app. I really don't feel like using Infuse or some other app just to use my library. Year after year I hear about people switching and yet, the gap is simply still there.

I am also not up to date on Jellyfin security issues but the biggest one I care about is that its clients don’t support OIDC. There’s a neat plugin for OIDC, but without client support it only works with the web client and I’m not a fan of leaving login pages open to the internet.

Anyone have experience hosting a server for non-technical parents? Plex is just so plug and play and they have clients for even the shittiest old smart TVs.
Honestly, the easiest thing to do is put it on a mesh VPN like Tailscale and connect their streaming device to your tailnet. If they’re non technical parents then if their TV OS doesn’t support Tailscale, you can pick up a Walmart brand ONN streaming box for <$50 which supports for Tailscale and Jellyfin.
