Well, Jellyfin is right over there, and it’s FOSS too. Consider switching, it’s pretty great.
I jumped to linux and downloaded jellyfin… shit is too complicated I havent got time to get to terms with it
Are you using the LSIO docker image, or did you install it manually via the official website instructions?
Ahh think I did the website
There’s a much easier way.
https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/#usage
Copy the text from the docker-compose section, and paste it into a file called compose.yaml
You can also add your other programs which rely on each other (Sonarr/Radar/qBitttorrent) in this same compose.yaml file (you can find them on this website).
When copying the other programs, omit the lines:
--- Services:After that, in your terminal, navigate to where the compose.yaml file is, and run this command
docker compose up -dNow your suite of applications are installed and can talk to each other.
You’ll need to change some of the details of the compose file (to set timezones and media directories).
You can restart programs with
docker restart jellfinLinuxServer.io are basically your one-stop shop for home-server applications

I used plex for years and years with my lifetime license, but a few years ago I felt Plex was way too bloated and swapped to Jellyfin. I don’t think about Plex now unless an article mentions it. There’s no feature of functionality I notice that’s missing, and I have a low tolerance for dealing with troubleshooting when I want to relax.
They finally added intro skipping within the last month that works with the web client. Now we just have to wait for clients to update.
How about iOS downloads for offline viewing? Server transcoding?
I’m a lifetime plex user but this enshitification has been increasing a lot lately.
