ETA:
Jellyfin is great, yes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?
Better is subjective.
Simpler in a more streamlined sense, yes. Plex is more hands-off, and is doing a lot behind the scenes to automatically configure itself to your hardware for the best transcoding experience and such.
Jellyfin needs a little more work but can get there, it just needs to be shown the hardware and be configured correctly, but I find Jellyfin to be simpler and less cluttered overall when properly finished, with less strings attached to a parent company.
Client apps are more limited but otherwise floss purist swear by it
Any difference in remote access? I think you gotta pay plex for that.
I remote access jellyfin just fine. Got a reverse ddns proxy on my synology nas so you can probably do the same thing for free.
That's also true.
Remote access is above my pay grade though.
Personal preference, really. For me, jellyfin is much simpler to use, very easy to self-host in docker. And the clients are great too. I use desktop, android and roku regularly.
