Comments and Reviews
Very good work is done on Jellyfin by the development team. If you are tired of Plex developers not listening to their users, this is the soft you need. It's a young project, but already awesome functionalities.
Great media streamer but I wish organization worked better and you had more manual control over it and can load stuff in via an api.
Great, especially when you add custom themes (or Wholphin for TV)
The media server solution your whole family will love! Might not be perfect, but plugins and a bit of customization truly makes it better than any streaming platform. Just remember to pay for quality content, artists deserves retribution.
Have been using it for years, across many platforms; Both for hosting and watching. Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, LG's WebOS. It Just Works, which is the highest praise, imo. No bloat, no privacy-invading trackers, and customizable with plug-ins. Free and open source. Plex is nothing but a distant, terrible memory now. I cannot recommend Jellyfin enough! Edit: I use it for audio books as well, with the iOS app 'Plappa'.
Jellyfin is awesome, open-source, and works great across many devices. BE YOUR OWN NETFLIX.
We use it in-browser, the Android and iOS app, and on Roku and it rarely lets us down.
Works on my AM4 PC. Not on my Android media console. It barely launched anything. Needs more power. I removed the client from it.
