Made the switch from Plex to jellyfin last week. Runs so much smoother, far fewer issues, my NAS isn't lighting itself on fire, and I don't have unwanted features being shoved down my throat every time I open the client app. A few small UI things I don't like, but Plex had just fucked up the exact same UI element on me anyway.
I think it's finally time I get around to setting up a second sonarr instance to customize for anime.
I've been running Plex on a Pi 3 and now Pi 4 along with multiple other containers with no real problems. I don't transcode obviously but have no issues with performance.
I also installed Jellyfin last week to run side by side but ended up uninstalling as even when idle the memory usage went through the roof.
I had jellyfin and 20+ more containers on rpi4 4GB and didnt have that problem.
There isn't a problem. It just consumed more memory than I'd have liked.
I've just powered on the container and the system went from 1.75G to 2.47G consumed. This is when it's idle.
I've just stopped the Plex container and memory usage is now 2.40G. Plex is definitely more lightweight in comparison.
Jellyfin is almost perfect for me, I just need to find out why it decides to randomly transcode when it needs to do nothing when serving client.
Any recommendation on a NAS to take advantage of this software? The current one i have is a nightmare to get running it and will just look into another
Edit: it's a QNap TS-230. I've tinkered with the container station and i can get to the drive set up but it never sees within the library and just idles even after multiple retries
