@robdaemon im switching things over to JellyFin, though im kinda annoyed at how it handles multiple directories for a library, if you have say the same artist folder in more than one directory it just ignores the others .. So using Navidrome for music till JF gets their database issues sorted (I guess a refactor is coming apparently) TV/Movies seem to be fine using my existing plex directories as they are all under one single path.

@ericgus @robdaemon I've already switched. I ran them in parallel on the same back-end NAS for the last couple of years, but I just finally cancelled my Plex subscription a few months ago and shut the Plex docker down. I running solely on Jellyfin now. It's not quite as good in some areas, but it's WAY more than good enough for what I'm using it for.

@paradroyd @ericgus My Plex membership is a lifetime one, so I've mostly put up with all the quirks but the new iOS app is trash.

@paradroyd @robdaemon JellyFin really needs to fix the duplicates issue in the libraries path situation, since if you happen to have a sub dir in more than one library source all but one tends to get ignored.. Why I can't use it for music since I have a few collections that unfortunately have the same artist sub dir and when I try to add all of them, entire sources are ignored.. Someone in one of the forums? posted about the issue (guess a major DB rewrite is coming).

@paradroyd @robdaemon Ill keep my plex Docker running till they enforce the changes and everyone that uses my plex has had a chance to get switched over to my JellyFin (like you the use the same file paths for content so nothing missing).. Yea Plex is more polished but I didnt care for the "value add" direction they were going with streaming services and such ..

@ericgus @robdaemon I haven't run into anything like that, but then I don't use it for music. I'm using Ampache and Music Assistant for that.

@paradroyd @robdaemon For now I setup a Navidrome docker and it works pretty well, I am still "exploring" so I might check into that .. Granted my music collection is in dire need of a cleanup (both in terms of file names and meta tags) but the path issue is a killer.. it would have been nice to get a 1:1 swap out vs relying on multiple apps .. and its not just me using this but my family, cousins etc.. so its a bunch of people I need to consider how they access it.
