I'm incredibly impressed by #JellyFin. It's absolutely going to replace #Plex for me. It "just works" as much as plex ever did. The player even has a "reason for transcoding" field! That's already influenced my own programs, not just what's happening but why! It's so much more transparent in friendly ways.The ecosystem is more nascent than plex (apple tv for example) but it's not dead or stalled, and it's very usable today. Plex has been amazing until recently but OSS is going to win here.

@reconbot Really depends on your use case, for you its perfect but i have 20 users that want to use the mobile app, xbox/playstation, phone and TV next to PC so then plex is going to win for its accessibility.The GPU transcoding support of plex is also a must for me because of the load.But thats how it goes with most tech, its more important to pick what works in your case then to over spec, so jellyfin is perfect for that.

@xaetacore gpu support on Jellyfin works great! I even got it working there when I couldn’t on plex!But you’re right about apps, for now…
