They are pretty similar. Plex is more polished though. But what keeps me from using Plex is that the client likes to push content onto me that isn’t on my server. I can unpin those suggestions, but they always came back after some time, which annoyed me. I also don’t like how they handle account authorization. I shouldn’t have to use their servers to log into my own server.

Jellyfin doesn’t phone home ever, and it only ever shows my content.

All that being said, if none of that bothers you, Plex is still a really good media server.

Jellyfin combined with Radarr and Sonarr is freaking amazing. Add in Jellyseerr and you’ve got yourself a Netflix competitor in your own home.

I did install all the dependencies. My guess is that I probably made a mistake somewhere while installing them. Regardless, I wasn’t able to get it working, and I didn’t have enough time to really mess with it further.

I might try it again from scratch this weekend if I have time. Maybe try the graphics quality trick if I can’t get Buffout to work, so thank you for that suggestion.

I played a little bit of it, and it definitely does seem like a pretty impressive mod. However, even with Buffout installed, I kept crashing at the train. I’m hoping to revisit it once they’ve managed to put out a patch addressing some of the technical issues.
