minus-squareEncrypt-KeeperlinkEnglish44•7 hours agoLack of feature parity is the number one thing holding so many people back from switching to Jellyfin. Of Plex is going to start deleting beloved features, a lot of minds will be made up very quick.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•25 minutes agoI really try to move to Jellyfin, but there’s always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and: It just can’t find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library. The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did. I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem. I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it’s hard to switch :(
