    Because jellyfin has less device compatibility, worse transcoding performance, and still struggles with media matching. Oh and still had memory leak issues.

    I have it installed, regularly update and test it, i want to ditch plex. But it’s just got to many basic issues. Anime matching in particular is rough and yes even after adjusting match sources some anime just outright fails till i manually match, matches incorrectly, won’t work either way.

    No it’s not the filenames. I use Sonarr, they are all very clean.

    Series name(year) | Season folder (001) | SxxExx episode title

    Edit: i give up figuring out how to make this stay treed, fucking hate reddit/lemmy formatting

      worse transcoding performance

      You have to pay on Plex to use hardware acceleration for transcoding. Lmao

        It doesn’t make the point any less valid. I would pay for better transcoding performance in jf if it were an option.

          I have hard time believing Plex’s software transcoding is more performant than Jellyfin’s hardware accelerated trandcoding

            My problems are less about speed and more about compatibility. I have Plex and jelly thing set up next to each other as containers on the same media database. There’s quite a number of videos that play on Plex that will not play on jellyfin. It could be problems between the two clients.

              I’ve understood that “performance” in this sort of context mean how quickly a given task is done

                They’re mostly just using FFmpeg behind the scenes, which is exactly how Plex did it to start with. Plex spent a long time working on hardware acceleration, it’s hard to tell exactly what they’re doing at this point but it’s safe to say they spend a hell of a lot of time on it so I doubt they’re just using FFmpeg for hardware acceleration anymore.

                    I mean it’s not entirely impossible, FFmpeg has also pushed to improve themselves over the years.

        I paid for lifetime in 2012. Worth it.

        I’m not using HA so that’s irrelevant to me. It’s just cpu encoding on my threadripper server.
