I've been meaning to try jellyfin, but I like that Plex has pretty decent first party apps for most devices. How is app support for jellyfin across different platforms? I mostly watch Plex from a Fire TV stick and Chromecast, besides my phone.

I set up my Plex server in 2021 for under $300 USD, using an old PC case I already had. I built my system around the AMD Ryzen 3200G. No graphics card, 8GB RAM, and Ubuntu Server. I've never had more than maybe 2 - 3 users streaming my Plex at a time, but its been chugging along with no issues for about 2 years now. For what I use it for, performance has been great, and obviously it didn't break the bank. I'm probably going to add a dedicated GPU at some point for hardware transcoding, but other than that, the wife and I are happy with all our content in one place. Go ahead and build it yourself. You don't have to go big $$ up front. Just build what you need and expand later if you want to.
Right here! Barely been on Reddit since last Monday. I don't feel like I'm missing much, frankly.
Me too!
Yarr! Aye approve!
How could I not join this community?!
Yet another Reddit refugee here! Thanks for the very informative post! I'm liking what I see so far 👍
I'm also interested in hearing what makes Jellyfin better than Plex?
