I poked at Jelly a bit ago, but as I recall the auto organize was abandoned (kinda a big deal to me) and something about conversions being a problem. Basically I just didn’t see anything that would make me inclined to go through the hassle of reworking what already works.
I’d gotten a lifetime premiere key, mostly for the ldap functionality at the time. Something I can buy once and use rather than subscribing to everything is always a winner for me.
I went with Plex for probably ten years after breaking with Emby. I ended things with them because they don’t care about their customers at all. Bugs that break the experience completely that lie untouched/unnoticed/ignored for years, and no replies from the developers. Or even developers that just stop replying to these bugs.
Switched to Jellyfin this year and it works like a charm. Only thing is it isn’t as good at noticing duplicates in my library, but other than that, works just fine. Definitely above acceptable.
I tried it out while I was at a friends place (streaming remotely from two internet connections).
Even the sync play worked very well (the delay between pressing pause and it executing was about 1-1.5 seconds).
Almost better than watch2gether.
Surprised people still stick with Emby.

Sure, I feel that. Are you running the version before they changed the license or whatever was the thing back then?
I’m lucky in my situation I guess, that I only need local playback and direct play.

Lots of things work better, so I am not.

I do a lot of remote sharing with friends and unfortunately it’s not great for that.
Also the last time I checked it out the clients kinda sucked. Not even one for Apple TV
Swiftfin or infuse for AppleTV
Huh? I watch my Jellyfin on AppleTV just fine.
Maybe there was one added since I last checked, or I’m just dumb. Good chance of the latter.
Edit: oh, 3rd-party clients? I had tried one but they wanted a fucking subscription fee
Nope. No subscription fee. Just the regular Jellyfin client. I run the server from my PC and watch on the client in my TV. All free.
Will try again. Though not having stupid simple friend sharing is still a dealbreaker for me
