I’ve feel like I’ve used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it’s going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it’s substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I’m impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

    I’ve set the paths properly and explicit. This is on Debian Stable. Uninstalled, not going to waste anymore time on this.

      Yeah I think your problem was trying to use ~ in a path. That’s a bash thing, not a linux thing - slightly pedantic distinction for many but worth knowing about in case future applications give you a similar problem.

        I’m an experienced user, I know what I’m doing. I’ve been using GNU/Linux since '96.

        No, I tried everyway with complete paths, I used that as one example. The software is a POS.
