Just like title. I remember there is a very detailed guide for setup a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr for streaming from everywhere in my house. But I can't find it anymore.

If anyone has a guide and share it, I would be appreciate.

Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - Install Jellyfin

What's so great about jellyfin anyways? I have a lifetime plex pass so I'd be a waste of my money if I stopped using plex

This article covers it in depth.

It's a different answer for someone already invested and paid up for life on plex though than it is for someone looking to do their first install.

I noticed jellyfin doesn't have mobilesync, does that mean I wouldn't be able to watch stuff away from home on my phone for example?

It's worth to mention the Findroid app which can download for offiine viewing

I watch totally fine on my phone and pickup at home. It should sync to your log in account in my experience

Plex does reencode and sync to phone for offline watching. Jellyfin you would stream direct. If you often go places with no Internet then sync is better, otherwise you'd be fine.

At work I don't have wifi so I'm forced to use my phones 4g

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If you pre-encode and sync over episodes for later, then yes plex will work better for you. If you watch streaming over 4g then you'd be unaffected

A friends setup had better transcoding performance with Intel ARC on Jellyfin than on Plex with 4K HDR10 content

plex had 0.7 frames rendered per frame shown Jellyfin had 1.1 frames rendered per frame shown

so while plex was lagging jellyfin did not

Nothing if you’re already set up in Plex and your server isn’t in a data center.

I just have a small optiplex I use as my server with a 4 drive HD bay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use Plex but it seems that Jellyfin offers a wider range of hardware support for transcoding acceleration even with the plex pass (though if you're using a quicksync device for your server it's probably a nonissue)

Some reason I read this as one sentence. Haha. I think it's because it didn't make a line break on Sync.

I have edited it to prevent such misreading :)
