I’ve feel like I’ve used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it’s going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it’s substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I’m impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

    I have my media files in specific folders on a RAID5. It won’t take that as a valid path, nor even anything in the ~/ directory. If I use the server root, it will. I don’t like that - seems like a poor system design. No way I want it to scan my root directory. Christ it will take forever to scan my entire RAID of 200Tb.

      It shouldn’t really matter where you’ve got your files as long as they’re mounted on a standard path. Maybe try creating a symlink from where your media is to a standard path like /mnt/media or something?
