    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 :(

      All my media is shared from a Raspberry Pi 4 with a HDD attached to it via NFS. Jellyfin runs as a container on a cheap Chinese mini pc I got off AliExpress. I’ve not had any issues over the network. It even transcodes on a share of the Pi as my SSD that has Jellyfin on is too small for larger movies.

      I loved the idea of navidrome and also briefly ran an instance, and like you use plexamp heavily. I stopped using Navi because one day it broke, and I found the plexamp experience just better.

      Maybe it’s time to try again.

      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.
