Plex is also a much better music player/streamer if you have plex pass with plexamp. Jellyfin’s audio renderer is pitifully bad by default, and only marginally better if you modify the factory file to use something like MPC-HC. Also, Jellyfin’s album and artist sorting is pretty mid.
I have debated getting a lifetime plex pass for a few reasons, I might when it’s next on sale but I’m not fullydecideed on it yet. I have been using Plexamp recently to listen to audiodramas though, sorting through stuff like that with anything other than the file structure I have already set up just really does not work for me
I prefer Jellyfin for just watching stuff on my TV streamed from my computer though
I’m guessing Symfonium doesn’t have custom DJ modes and automatic music mixes based on your local library and past listening habits? Their website doesn’t mention.
The DJ modes and track/album radio and artist mixes are what sold me on Plexamp.
I said easier, setting up a vpn for my family to be able to remotely access my media on their TV is no where near as easy as setting up a Plex server and sharing it that way
You shouldn’t be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that’s why.
Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.
Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.
Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.
Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
No need to use Plex

I use Jellyfin and plex still has it’s uses, much easier to share content remotely for example

Just use Jellyfin with Symfonium

Don’t know what DJ modes are but it has automatic mixes. Just try it I guess.
How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.

Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.
Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?

I am in a situation where I can’t open up ports manually (or access my router at all) so it’s definitely not manual

What paid plex subscription? For the record I’ll probably look into that later but I have never once given plex money
