  Lack of an official tvOS app and Plex being easy to set up for my family keeps me from switching.

    I made the switch this week. Jellyfin took about 10 minutes to set up and left it overnight to scan my files. I only had to make a few corrections.

    You can always try it out in a VM or container or even run both at once.

    You can cast it onto a chrome cast though I haven’t tried this yet.

      It has to be as easy as plex for me to switch, otherwise my wife won’t go for it.

        Yeah exactly. My girlfriend is not tech savvy. It needs to be as easy as Netflix, meaning I need it to run on the smart tv.

      Casting is as easy as it is on plex, I have a plex lifetime pass and can’t think of anything useful it does that jellyfin can’t do too.

      I use the jellyfish app on both chrome tv and fire tv sticks. Works great. I did have one issue and had to set the default playback in both apps to something (internal?) to fix some audio sync issues.
