Happy to have switched this week to Jellyfin
What a timing. I was unsure if I should go with Plex lifetime or Jellyfin cause I had a hard time first to set it up on my Synology NAS, but I finally did, even reverse proxy with the help of chatgpt/gemini and now I have a way better setup than I had before with Plex.
Seeing the Plex lifetime pass increasing even more just made my day. They completely lost the plot. I mean for real, who would pay such a price? They will be gone within 2 years max.
And with Jellyfin? Well, I love everything of it, but there's one single thing I'm not that happy about and it's the UI and App Responsiveness. Sometimes it's so incredibly slow to open up a movie or to switch between sections.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm using the same NAS and the same network of course that before I used with Plex, and Plex was incredibly fast.
Is it a setting I'm missing? Or does Plex handle metadata and images different so they are immediately available while Jellyfin (obviously) does not?
Would Emby be faster and more similar to Plex?
Any help appreciated.
