If you have plex pass, you get remote access through plex servers, which is easier than port forwarding / vpnīonus: If you are looking to direct play hevc content to safari (to enjoy spatial audio), I have found jellyfin to be more stable with its fmp4-hls remuxing.Better performance while consuming less resources,.Better UI / suggestions on home, way less bugs overall.Offline downloads on mobile app are free (plex needs plex pass even after paying for the app!).Open source -> Privacy + feature requests.Completely offline user authentication and operation.Free mobile app (plex mobile app needs 450/- rupees).If your needs are basic, I would say go with plex, it is way more mature and optimised right now. When running jellyfin instead, cpu usage is at 50% and ram usage is 2-2.5g. When I run plex with my other 10 containers, cpu usage is at 5-7% and ram usage is at 1.3g. At the end of the day, I prefer sublime-text. I would say plex is like sublime-text: closed source but free, minimal and performant, while jellyfin is like atom: open source and slightly resource intensive. I have used both plex and jellyfin, on RPi 4. Demanding authentication with a company controlled central server to decide who is allowed to connect to what. This is something Jellyfin will NEVER support by choice. This is covered under "Remote Login Server" where you are logging in to the Plex or Emby centralized authentication servers to access servers behind firewalls. This is the exact same process that Plex & Emby uses, which is a security risk each server owner should understand & then decide if they want the companies knowing who each & every user is who connects to Plex & Emby servers. ![]() The Plex & Emby users are considered the users of Plex & Emby not the person who owns the server which is why Plex & Emby can & do limit who & how many people can connect to a server. It is also an issue of privacy of how Plex & Emby does things. It is simple to setup Android & Android TV to automatically use a VPN for specific apps. Remember these servers were NOT setup to allow you to set up your own Netflix server to sell access to videos. It is much better to force remote users to VPN in the home network than expose the network to the Internet. It is better for your media server to not have open access to the internet & expose it, until server owners are aware of the risks & how to mitigate the risks. Thanks so much!Įxposing your server unnecessarily to the Internet is a serious risk & should NOT be done willy nilly. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or info. I just wondered if anyone might share a comparison at this point in 2021 (or point me to a link somewhere) so I might know what I'd gain or lose, should I switch, especially pointed towards AppleTV as the streaming device. I did try out the demo and, while it's hard to compare to a fully media library, it was extremely snappy and the layouts are clean, informative, and gorgeous. A couple of people made snide laughing comments about JF, while others said what has been achieved is truly amazing. I just wondered if there was an up-to-date comparison of Jellyfin vs Emby/Plex and what features (if any) it may be missing that a person would really notice. I've read about JF for awhile now and watched it mature and know many of the basic features. Someone in an Emby thread mentioned that Jellyfin has achieved really good tone mapping on AppleTV and that your HDR playback may now be better than any others. However, I've just learned that Emby doesn't play as nicely as it should with AppleTV and almost completely lacks HDR playback except for one solitary format. I'm about to get an AppleTV because I do want the integration with not only all our devices but also the IoT integration with HomeKit, cameras, etc. I ended up adding Emby Premiere when it was on a Black Friday sale so now I have both. Been a Plex Lifetime PlexPass user for 7+ years now and then switched to Emby about 2 year ago, when Plex just wasn't listening to their core user group any longer and not fixing really basic things (like adding a darn repeat button to playlists). ![]()
