Using Jellyfin together with other media server software

[wayner]

I have been primarily been using SageTV and Plex as my media server.  These run in dockers on an unRAID server.  I want to try Jellyfin so I want to install a Jellyfin docker and point it at my existing folders for media - like movies and TV shows.

If I do this will Jellyfin do anything that could screw up Plex or SageTV?  Like changing filenames or changing the media files?  Does Jellyfin write anything to the media folders?  I would guess that this isn't an issue, but wanted to make sure before I try it out.

Jellyfin will only write something to the media folder if you* tell it to do so (nfo files, artwork). It does not change filenames. You can run them side by side.

Thank you very much.
