    For me it’s PlexAmp and the few tech-illiterate friends I have who use my server for video streaming. 99% of the time, I just watch movies on my desktop with VLC player but I’ve yet to find a self-hosting music player half as good as PlexAmp

      Yeah, the sad reality is that Plex’s setup experience is much smoother. And when you’re trying to convert people, the single largest obstacle is often social inertia. So lowering the barriers to entry is extremely important. My mother-in-law would need to sideload the Jellyfin app onto her TV, but Plex is available right on its app store.

      Luckily, you can run both side by side. Jellyfin for me and my more tech-literate friends, Plex for those who don’t know/don’t care to learn.

        I have read many people say this, but I don’t understand what they mean by it. When I set up Jellyfin, it was a very simple process.

          Apparently all your friends and family are comfortable with hostnames and ip addresses. Not everyone’s are. Also, not everyone wants to buy a static ip or setup a dynamic dns service or similar. Plex is definitely simpler. I have used both.

                I doubt they’re thinking at all if writing a web address is too much lol

                “Facebook dot what? Stop the tech speak, nerd!”

                    I’m not sure if you’re just surrounded by mentally deficient people for some reason or seriously underestimating them, but pretty much everyone I know can type in a website address lol

                    Or maybe it’s some zoomie “what’s a computer” thing
