Plex Jiffyfin clash? - Magician - 2025-10-09
Hi,
I have a plex media server running on a windows 11 pc using 4 external discs with various media.
I intend to run jellyfin using those same media discs on the same pc.
I have a question, will there be a clash if I have plex running as well as jellyfin at the same time? Will the way jellyfin uses these devices clash with how plex uses them? If so, any ideas how to correct this situation.
The reason for asking that is that I want to be aware of any problems before I fully commit to jellyfin.
Thanks in anticipation

Plex and Jellyfin both just monitor the media directories and update themselves when needed. I have both running in parallel and it works just fine.
