    As a long time Jellyfin skeptic, this is the most convinving endorsement I’ve heard. I dug into the links you shared. I had no idea the Jellyfin ecosystem had expanded so far.

      Yeah it’s pretty nice now. I just got tired of plex pulling shit like this and decided to pivot. Its been a breath of fresh air. Even the issues have been light.

      A word of warning if you go the container route though: linuxserver.io’s jellyfin container has a bugged ffmpeg install. Use the official jellyfin container from dockers registry. The compose file is all good to use from the Linuxserver.io, just swap the image.

      If you have any questions, let me know.

        Really?? I wasn’t aware. Ive been running the linuxserver.io image for a few months now. You think its worth going with the official container instead? I’ll give it a shot. The docker compose writeup is the same, aside from the image name?

          Yeah, i found this out while trying to run down my library scan crash. It’s in one the github support threads, but I have no idea which one at this point.

          Your docker config file should be fine. I swapped the image with no other changes.
