      Easy, Plex can pass the spouse test. Jellyfin has yet to pass the spouse test…it’s getting there though

        My spouse has switched from Plex to Jellyfin

        Maybe it’s time to try again? Or consider another spouse?

      I tried Jellyfin and the performance for me was sooo much worse than Plex on the same system. Videos took forever to play. Also Plex is way easier for me to share with family than Jellyfin.

        You can check to see if you can enable hardware transcoding. I find the delay is usually transcoding building up a buffer and if you have a good GPU/APU in your server it’s often a lot quicker.

        Pretty sure on jellyfin by default that is off. Mainly because you need to install some packages to get the devices available under linux usually.
