Hello, Jim here.

Just installed Jellyfin, so fine tunning it. Thanks for putting all the info here!

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!

Hi! Im Chris.

I basically got into this because my career field shat the bed temporarily so Ive been unemployed for quite some time. Thought I would get into self hosting and see if I could be competent enough to do it. First it started with self hosted CCTV and when cost prevented me from doing so, I stumbled upon Jellyfin! I hope to learn as much as I can not only about Jellyfin, but what ever I can from you all.
