Jellyfin is Emby minus the cost. Literally a fork of Emby that has far surpassed it at this point. Emby did that thing where they took an open source project and locked it behind a paywall for access, and I won’t support the Rent-your-software model.
I’m legitimately curious as to what has changed with Jellyfin, with comparing to Emby, that would make this statement true: “that has far surpassed it at this point”
Does Jellyfin allow you to bring in your music libraries?
Also, does Jellyfin have Samsung TV clients, or do you need to cast from your phone? I’ve been trying to de-Google myself and I don’t want to have to keep investing in Chromecasts, and part of the reason why I’ve stuck with Plex is because their app is everywhere.
Jellyfin also does Music and Ebooks. – I don’t know how well it does this though, as I don’t have Jellyfin manage my music, I just use Pandora because I’m too lazy to curate ‘stations’ and make track lists and stuff.
Same.
I’ve been pretty happy with Emby as my backup plan.

https://github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds – No way around having to enable developer mode for Samsung TVs, sadly, but they do have a client.

Are there any current major limitations compared to plex? Remote access ok?
