  • comments like these that imply that jellyfin is a direct replacement for Plex when you yourself say it’s not.

    I didn’t say that. I agree with it though. They aren’t 1:1.

    I’m not arguing with me about the merits of you using Plex. Entirely possible it suits your needs better. But most important to many of us is the ability to run offline. Once you’re online, you’re right that Jellyfin has some ground to make up.

    Nobody is running Jellyfin strictly offline. At the bare minimum people leave it internet connectable to grab metadata and other resources,

    I run it offline, in a network that doesn’t even have a path from the outside world. I have a separate gluetun network for getting metadata outside the media server. Even still, connecting to the internet is a vastly different security service that allowing connections from the internet.

    I wouldn’t even really debate any of your negative points about Jellyfin; all true. I’m just saying Jellyfin is a replacement for Plex in many cases, even if not yours. For me, where I want to run offline a service that doesn’t force me to log into a cloud server to watch my own stuff on my own network, it is a replacement. And on top of that, I just like it more. I like the interface more and feel its syncplay is less problematic.
