I find the Jellyfin UX to be unbearable. It frequently shows the metadata for completely different movies, despite perfect file naming. Nearly every time I use it I have to restart it due to some weird UI bug or another.
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.

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.
Was going to say the same. Why use plex, when jellyfin exists.

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
