I have setup Jellyfin as a docker container and will bind-volume the same locations as Plex, but I was interested in anyone’s perspective having made the switch in the last year or so.
What are some things you miss, what are issues/benefits you hadn’t expected?
How’s the offline experience?
Last time I checked something big was missing, I can’t remember what though.
I’ll restart my homelab in a month and I have already chosen Jellyfin but I’m still curious about what to expect.
Absolutely flawless. I haven’t got a single complaint.
It supports hardware decoding right?
Can you download episodes and when you watch it it gets replaced by the next one ?
Is there a YouTube Kids skin for Jellyfin?
Skins for Jellyfin depend on the client. There are quite a few CSS themes for the web client and Kodi is a high quality multiplatform media player with a ton of skins that works as a Jellyfin client via an addon.
As for automatic downloading, I don’t think any official Jellyfin clients support that yet, though Findroid for Android (a third-party client) does support downloading and watching downloaded episodes within the app, but I don’t think it has the automatic downloads
