Hi, all. So I want to set up a media server using my Raspberry Pi. It will be used by me and my partner, who is very much tech illiterate. She knows how to use Plex, but I’m tempted by the open nature of Jellyfin. How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple? Or is Jellyfin manageable if I set it up for her?

    I am experimenting with Jellyfish this month and really enjoying it.

    I have a lifetime pass from Plex from a long time ago so it’s my fallback now. And because of that I wasn’t sure if I should try Emby since … Well you have to pay. And I already have Plex.

    But I’m curious … Because it feels like everyone who uses Emby is very happy with it and swears by it. And generally they all feel like Jellyfin is generally inferior to it.

    Seems like Emby is a better Jellyfin that you have to pay for if you want all those premier features (I would).

    Also, what’s to stop Emby from turning into Plex?
