goodbye plex

I’m pretty sure you can pay for a lifetime access to infuse, cause I don’t think I pay monthly.
Its monthly or lifetime and the lifetime is like 6-8 years of paying monthly.

after almost 15yrs my plex server is no more. jellyfin behind nginx with authentik is running very nicely.
There are a few things about jellyfin that I don't like compared to Plex. First I can't skip the intro of a show drives me nuts. The second one is it has newly added but not newly released. Other then that it has been really good.

The only thing that plex has over jellyfin at the moment (in my opinion) is the simple sign on and user options that allow users to have their own usernames and not have to know anything about reverse-proxying a domain for jellyfin access. It's that little bit of back-end that you have to set up that's the problem for the 'normie' users that a lot of plex admins cater to. That, and there's some holes in where the jellyfin app is available.
plex is still definitely easier to get started on. i don't begrudge anyone still going that route, i had a lifetime plexpass the last 8yrs i think. jellyfin is a great option if you either already know how to set things up and want full control. Or you're looking for an opportunity to learn more about reverse proxy, dns and authentication/access systems. plex is still i nice gateway drug.

https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper solves your intro skipping issue.

Their last UI changes
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.

Why all those VMs instead of containers?

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.

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.

How did you set up Jellyfin with Authentik? Are you using SSO or is it only through LDAP?
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
