  Jellyfin is Emby minus the cost. Literally a fork of Emby that has far surpassed it at this point.

    Does Jellyfin allow you to bring in your music libraries?

    Also, does Jellyfin have Samsung TV clients, or do you need to cast from your phone? I’ve been trying to de-Google myself and I don’t want to have to keep investing in Chromecasts, and part of the reason why I’ve stuck with Plex is because their app is everywhere.

      Jellyfin also does Music and Ebooks.

    I'm legitimately curious as to what has changed with Jellyfin, with comparing to Emby, that would make this statement true: "that has far surpassed it at this point"

      That’s more on the featureset that’s available without having to rent it from Emby. Hardware Transcoding, DVR, Live TV, Cinema Intros, Automatic Metadata, Offline Files, that kind of thing.

    Are there any current major limitations compared to plex? Remote access ok?

      I think Jellyfin is lacking an Xbox client, maybe a WebOS client, and I run Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy with Caddy for automatic SSL, so it’s best to run it behind a subdomain imho. I wildcard my subdomain so that it doesn’t show up in publicly available SSL certs. One of the big downsides (I’m not going to lie to you here) is that there is no central login authority, so you can’t get to your instance ‘blindly’ like you can on Plex. (where Plex kind of proxies your traffic to your instance) - but that’s a plus to me, because I don’t want someone MITM-ing my collection.
