Yea, JF is getting mature enough for more people to transition.

I’ve been running it side by side with Plex for about 2 years now, and have a couple of clients (and all of my personal use) on JF, but a few users either cant run JF directly on their hardware (and don’t want to cast every time) or they are older and would struggle to learn a new app without some hands on practice with it.

The newest Plex UI update on some devices is causing some problems so I think I’ll have a few more users moving to JF in the near future.

It’s a bit of a ram hog compared to plex but that’s not a major issue.

unraid is great but on a little 4 bay mini nas with limited expandability you don’t get much advantage for the money, it’s better for larger arrays and lots of mixed disk sizes, and on systems where you can put in lots of SSDs to make a decently fast caching setup die to unraid slower non-striped array architecture.

On a 4 bay mini-NAS I’d go with the free truenas option and just make it a RaidZ1 of 4 disks.

For a beginner, OMV might be simpler, and for paid options, HexOS is probably more beginner friendly than raw TrueNas.

A free alternative to Unraid is Snapraid, but thats more of a roll-your-own solution, not an OS you can just install.

don’t use Brave.

Yes its a decent piece of software made by some properly smart industry experts but I have zero faith in them on a personal trust level. The CEO (despite his amazing resume and past accomplishments) is an arsehole, a bigot, a crypto-scammer and a science denier.

The data-point that someone is using a dumbphone or actively trying to minimise/restrict profiling is a very important and valuable profiling data-point itself.

jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.

Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

their accounts are all local to each server, rather than user accounts existing separately and having access granted to them, so I’d say no but I’ve never tried.

It would be up to the client app to log into multiple servers and I don’t think any of them do that without having to log out and switch servers then log in again, as opposed to plex where you can have one user logged in and pin libraries from multiple servers if needed.

Thats one of the things I wish JF did better but it’s getting there slowly.

yep, I run them side by side and most of my personal use has moved over to JF.

in my opinion all that JF is lacking is better user management for remote users. The player apps are honestly fine if your clients have fairly modern dedicated playback devices.

They don’t need to listen to you to know exactly what you are thinking.

The average tech user likely has no idea how accurate these profiles can be without active listening.

China putting china on top of the charts is expected, but it’s per capita production that makes more sense for direct comparison of countries.

In that case… Australia is the leader by a strong margin…

If you want it Per Capita, try this one with data from 2023.

Pretty different story naturally.

I never used it, but it was a popular third party add-on before the feature was integrated.

I’ve had a Lifetime PlexPass since 2013, so I’ve definitely had my moneys worth and then some, but for the last 2 years I’ve been dual wielding Jellyfin and watching it slowly get to the point where I can move over entirely.

I’m 100% Jellyfin now for my personal playback at home, and will be transitioning users over to it as soon as it gets a few more user management features for remote users.

Same issue hit me, some government and banking services wouldn’t accept my .info and .services domains, so I have a backup .com for those.

Wish I didn’t need it though, its 2025.

I use Ad-Guard instead of Pihole because the pi-hole software used to be missing some of the DNS features I wanted at the time, and I just stuck with it ever since. I have the main DNS server running on my Unraid Box, and a backup that runs on my HomeAssistant Pi4B.

The best HACS addon by far in my opinion has been the Node-Red companion add on that makes combining HA with NR significantly easier and more powerful.

I do almost all of my automation in NR flows and HA is mainly API connector and dashboard frontend.

I have a customised dashboard running on a Sonoff NS panel Pro (using the normal methods to get back to stock android on those panels) I just use it as a button pad for a media room, so the dashboard is mostly just a few pages of buttons in a 3x3 grid for source selection, modes, AC and Lighting controls etc, mostly hitting triggers in Node-Red (via the HACS node-red addon) rather than directly in Homeassistant so that it’s easier to have the dashboard trigger perform a larger chain of tasks easier (in my opinion) than doing it purely in HA.

It’s not perfect… because there’s no easy way to lock a dashboard to a certain pixel height and width without a lot of tinkering with third party plug-ins and SSL.

I’ve got it working pretty well, the one gripe I have is tap and hold functions are impossible as the touchscreen seems too sensitive and there is no dead-zone control for tap and hold.

But recently i’ve programmed a new smart remote for the media room that does most of it on the remote directly, so I only use it for configuring the A/C occasionally now, when my remotes simpler on/off integration isn’t enough.

I have .solutions and .info domain emails that still gets denied by some services, especially anything government or public utility, pain in the arse.

You’d think that at least .info would be pretty well accepted by now.

its been on the experimental branch for a while now

can you run something like iperf3 or openspeedtest between the server and client to prove its a network throughput issue?

do you have a network switch you can add to avoid switching through your router (if it is indeed bad?)

Have you ensured you arent unknowingly using wifi at either end?

NGINX is a bit more hands on than some other options but it’s mature, configurable and there’s a huge amount of information out there for setting it up for various use cases.

in my case, its what I set up when i was first getting into this and it works, so I don’t want to go through setting up anything else.
