Hi, I'm Tom,
I am coming over from Plex, which is the service I have been using for the better part of 10 years now. All I want is to be able to view my own files, on my own device, where-ever I am. It looks like Jellyfin is the best going alternative. The reviews I've read are very promising, and the community here seems nicer than Plex. I look forward to learning how to best optimize my server, and meeting all of you.
Thank you for having me
Tom

Hello, I'm Hyatt,
I've been testing out Jellyfin and Jellyseer with a full {apps we don't talk about - TDP} on my laptop and I'm very satisfied with it. Tailscale is used to funnel the Jellyfin and Jellyseerr apps out of network and ensure I can host anytime without needing modify the settings of whichever router I am connected to. I can effortlessly host my media server wherever I travel! I limit the outbound rate to 10mbps per user and transcode everything on the fly using Apple's VideoToolbox HW encode. I have been really happy with the results.
Eat your heart out, Plex!
