    I have jellyfin installed on my Debian server that also houses my Plex server. I bought the lifetime membership for Plex a long time ago, but I keep hearing of alternatives like Jellyfin so I thought I'd give 'er the 'ole college try. So far, seems fine. I was looking for some info on the database, though. All I could find (brief search, mind you) was that the software uses SQLite. If this is true, then there's really no benefit to switch, imho. My biggest problem with Plex is that they use SQLite and it drives me insane. I would much prefer to use PostgreSQL or even (shudder) MySQL/MariaDB.

    It doesn't look like my Music library sync'd up correctly. I'll be looking in to that later. Plexamp is, in my opinion, the single biggest draw to using Plex. That app is so good. I wish there was a Raspberry Pi version I could use, but the headless thing will be... fine I guess. Does Jellyfin have anything like Plexamp? Should I not even bother with the music side? It seems to do really well with Movies.

    Is Lazy Loading a thing? Is there a plugin or something I can add to make that work?

    I haven't tried tinkering with the software much, so these next couple questions may have already been asked:

    Is there a way to group the same movies but of different resolutions/languages? (i.e. Akira 720p English, Akira 720p Japanese, Akira 1080p English, etc all rolled into -> Akira)

    Is there a way to send a user an invite rather than setting a password for them?

    Is there any SSO integration possible? (I'm not sure how far I'd go with SSO, just wondering if it's possible)

    LDAP integration?

    That's all I can think of for the time being. I've only had it installed for a few hours. So I still have much tinkering/feeling out to do.

    Thanks!
