I tried but the technical gap from Plex to Jellyfin was too intense for me to try and make work at this time of my life. Plex works well for my purposes and I paid for the phone apps when needed ($6 per device I think).
I admire and support Jellyfin as FOSS and hope I can jump on when I have more time to make it work.
Yeah for sure, didn't mean to imply folks shouldn't use Plex just giving it a shout out as an alternative. I've used both and they are both pretty awesome. One of my friends set up a seed box with Jellyfin so I kinda cheated in leaving the tinkering to them but I don't think it was too bad with the provider they went with.
Exact same thing happened to me, i just couldn’t get it to consistently work.
