y'all what were the biggest hurdle you had from transfering from Plex/Emby to Jellyfin

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/jellyfin

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • JellyPlex-Watched

    Sync watched between jellyfin and plex locally

  • https://github.com/luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched for those asking

  • PlexTraktSync

    A python script that syncs the movies, shows and ratings between trakt and Plex (without needing a PlexPass or Trakt VIP subscription)

  • If syncing watched status is important to you, there is a Plex -> Trakt sync project on Github here but it is a pain in the fucking ass. Needs way too much info/access to sync anyone's stuff but your own, pretty much. But Jellyfin has an available plugin that will sync down from Trakt for each user.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Swiftfin

    Native Jellyfin Client for iOS and tvOS

  • Absolutely not. It was just published to the App Store 10 days ago and there is a massive refactor of the playback code currently in progress.

  • Jellyfin

    The Free Software Media System

  • and in 2019 I can see on github they removed the ability for JF to keep the PC awake when a user is actively streaming, it's a big issue for me with power costs atm. I wake the PC using WoL when I want to watch something, and with Plex it goes to sleep when finished. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/9043

  • mnamer

    media file renaming and organizing tool

  • check out mnamer for a free alternative ;) https://github.com/jkwill87/mnamer

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
