Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

Some that I run that you don't seem to have anything for:

Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
Mayan EDMS - I've found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
There's a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)

What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.

I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.

I'm a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.

I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I'm sure there's more but the primary driver was ideology. I'm not giving my money to some company that's primarily developing features I don't want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.

I've had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that's probably the hardest part

Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha
