      It’s plex but open source and without any sort of subscription. I have been using it for a couple of years and never had a problem

        i never heard of it and have been using plex for years. i love that its open source. definitely checking it out. plex has been driving me nuts with all the extra crap theyve been adding. i just want my media

        Does it work outside of the home network as well as plex does? Also, do you think it is worth switching if I already bought the lifetime plex pass?

          It should work, but I use tailscale so I can’t personally vouch for it. I don’t think it differs that much from plex tho, so if you are fine with it and you have already the pass, you aren’t losing out anything major

      It’s great software but for me it’s missing at least 1 must-have feature, being intro detection & skipping.

      It’s a Plex alternative, I don’t know about better. IIRC it’s a fork of Emby. I try both (Emby and Jellyfin) usually a couple times a year, but there’s always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex.

      Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say “let’s watch something on Jellyfin”.
