I'm leaving Plex for Jellyfin. It's free, and Plex has been pushing bloat for so long, I can't be bothered with it. It used to be great, just open Plex and there's your media. But now it's full of random streaming channels and shit. It takes multiple non-intuitive clicks to get to what I want. I tried Jellyfin and it's perfect, just like Plex used to be.

The question I have, because I'm considering self-hosting something like that, is will my non-text have a family be able to understand how to use it? If not then it's not really going to be worth it right?

Ideally I want something that would seamlessly replace Spotify and all video streaming services as well and, if my dreams can come true, also work with Google Assistant.

If they can’t figure it out then it’s a them problem right?

Not really when you are going to be texted about it. I spent 3 hours trying to get jellyfin to work on my phone. Staying with Plex as they have better apps.

What was the issue? My experience was the opposite.. I installed the app (android) and went to my IP, it works. I was surprised how simple and easy it was. Or were you trying to use it outside of your home LAN?

On my lan, get black screen on movies.

Ok sounds like codecs/ffmpeg. Did you get it fixed or still having the issue?
