How are they better? I’ve heard this but I need to dive in more. Should I run off my nas or setup a Nuc, etc? If the latter— I welcome hardware suggestions. Thanks.
I guess one question up front is where do you get movies for Jellyfin— a torrent site or? Me n00b 😀
Jellyfin is more open, while Plex hides a lot of its most poweful features behind paywall. You can run it off a NAS, although running the server on a NAS is not recommend because they cant handle transcoding well. But you can always point the server at your NAS for its libraries
And its all self hosted, so however you get your files works. I prefer torrenting myself 😉
Thanks — dumb question incoming — you torrent (download/stream) as you need/want to watch vs download to storage? Do you use radarr etc etc?
Yeah the newer Synology don’t transcode as well as before if I remember correctly.
I want to ditch ShitFlix so bad.
It’s absolute crap content and they force me to sign in all the time due to vpn.
simple answer on how it's better:
it's freedom tech, plex isn't
there are also a lot of unlocked features, better privacy, but nothing beats that primary reason
Yeah— Plex from what people tell me isn’t primary focused.
I would love some resources if any on hardware suggestions (should I tee up via my nas or get a Nuc or mini pc etc).
Thank you!
