Lack of feature parity is the number one thing holding so many people back from switching to Jellyfin. Of Plex is going to start deleting beloved features, a lot of minds will be made up very quick.

I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there's always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

  • It just can't find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
  • The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it's hard to switch :(

Plexamp right now is the biggest reason I have not even thought of moving to something else. I have yet to see a music player that comes close to the features Plexamp has.

Hard agree. PlexAmp has been stellar.
