    Lack of feature parity is the number one thing holding so many people back from switching to Jellyfin. Of Plex is going to start deleting beloved features, a lot of minds will be made up very quick.

      I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there’s always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

      • It just can’t find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
      • The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

      I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

      I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it’s hard to switch :(

      Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.

      If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.

      This is a feature that Jellyfin natively has already. So now Jellyfin exceeds Plex in some areas.
