Quote: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.
Yes it uses SQLite, unfortunately for you ;(
Quote: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.
Please see https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/commen..._auto=true and https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/music and https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients/. Additionally look through the plugins for Music related functionality like metadata etc.
Quote:Is Lazy Loading a thing? Is there a plugin or something I can add to make that work?
Lazy loading is controlled per-user:
User > DISPLAY > 'ENABLE BLURRED PLACEHOLDERS FOR IMAGES'
Quote: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)
Yes. Different settings for this feature are in several locations. To group movies manually you can in the web interface: long-left-click on each film and select the check-mark, then at the top right menu ellipsis menu select "Group Versions". To automatically group versions, see https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
Quote:Is there a way to send a user an invite rather than setting a password for them?
Yes with third-party solutions such as Jellyseerr: https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr
Quote:Is there any SSO integration possible? (I'm not sure how far I'd go with SSO, just wondering if it's possible)
Not natively, there might be a third-party solution available I'm not sure.
Quote:LDAP integration?
Yes via a Jellyfin plugin. In the web interface: Go to the Dashboard > Plugins (under Advanced) > Catalog (at the top) > LDAP Authentication (under Authentication). After installed you'll need to configure its settings on the "My Plugins" page.
