I host a Plex server and only use it to stream video. I don't use any other features built into Plex. I've never had a an issue that I haven't caused myself, and have a dozen people that share my library remotely.
I haven't read about specifics in a long time, but I thought at one point jellyfin didn't support remote streaming, which immediately makes in not an option. At this point it will take something more significant to get me to take the hours required to migrate everything out of Plex to a different solution, but are there any drop dead reasons why I should move now other than not being able to use the watch together feature that I've never used, although I disappointed they removed it, because it's a nice feature?
Jellyfin just does everything I need, and has done for a long time, so I find it funny when all I ever hear about Plex is how it's constantly getting worse like that wasn't always going to happen with a closed source platform.
if it still works for you I wouldn't drop everything and migrate; but the day is coming.
I spun up Jellyfin recently just out of curiosity and setup wasn’t difficult at all. You can point it at the exact same library folders that Plex uses, so there’s not really much to migrate. Jellyfin will take time to do its media processing on the first library import, but that doesn’t require anything but patience while it does its thing.
It definitely supports remote streaming - one of my friends in another state was able to successfully sign in and watch something.
Jellyfin’s support for plugins is nice as well - paired with JFA-GO, user account management is a breeze.
The main drawback it still seems to need work on is streaming support on a larger variety of devices, which is where you’d be likely to still run into issues since you share your library with others. A few of my friends have devices that don’t have Jellyfin apps, and it’s the only reason I haven’t transitioned everything off of Plex. I don’t recall exactly what devices they were using that didn’t work, but I’m pretty sure at least one or two were game consoles.
