I tried Jellyfin probably 2 years ago and it was fine but Plex is just “plug n play” in regard to my family setting it up themselves with little help from me.

Plexamp is the only way I stream music too so that’s a big reason why I won’t move yet.

In my opinion they should have just discontinued the lifetime sub instead of the ridiculous pricing and bad press.

40w

It’s an old microATX build with 3 HDDs, 1 SSD, 1 M.2 and a Quadro P400 so I think 40w average is pretty good. It’s on 24/7 with no spin down.

If I was starting new today I’d go for Jellyfin but my family is all set up for Plex now and I’m not going through that painful process again :D

In this case you’d be better off on Facebook and Reddit looking for local services that can help you.

My wife and I had a trio of pigs. They are such funny and cool pets with the rumble strutting, popcorning and insane squeaks when they hear someone chopping vegetable from across the house :)

It is. It’s all clean and everything there is just called “the dogs chair” anyway so doesn’t get mixed up.

I’ll pair your cosy dog with our sleepy dog :D

You could keep the chain going and pass it down to somebody else?

If you have any old hardware/laptop laying around then use that until you nail down what you actually want to do and need.

I would start by adding a couple more indexers but don’t go overboard. 3 or 4 should be good and then swap them out as needed. Also something to note is make sure you aren’t just “hit n run” on everything and seed properly.
