Does anyone have recent experience migrating from Plex to Jellyfin?
I have setup Jellyfin as a docker container and will bind-volume the same locations as Plex, but I was interested in anyone's perspective having made the switch in the last year or so.
What are some things you miss, what are issues/benefits you hadn't expected?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm still dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Plex for sharing, Jellyfin mostly for me. What I miss: Skip intro, skip outtro, PMM, Tautulli, Overseer (looks like Jellyseer can cover it, but while I wait for others I might as well wait for the main repo to support Jellyfin), the interface is pretty old-school but their new VueJS (IIRC) interface looks like it'll solve that issue. Nowits's just about waiting for it to become the primary interface in apps.
Benefit: No more defaulting to 720p 3mbps! That shit is outdated as fuck in 2023...
Jellyfin has skip intro. Let me know if you wanna know how to set it up
I didn't know that. If you point me in the direction of the source I think I'll manage it from there.
Sure.

Ps. This doesnt work on android with the official client yet. But you can use the findroid app. It works flawlessly
Am I using plex wrong? Where the hell is there a skip intro??
You need a Plex Pass subscription in order to use it. You can find info about how to set it up here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/skip-content/
This is the way (dual-wielding). I ran them side by side for a while on the same media, but shutdown my plex instance after a couple of months. I got in the habit of using Infuse for my AppleTV playback, and haven’t bothered to check back in on the official client much. I’m sure there are lots of deltas out there, but for my home use case the transition was simple.
I’m also dual wielding. I think the only thing really keeping me on plex is there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.
