When running jellyfin instead, cpu usage is at 50% and ram usage is 2-2.5g. When I run plex with my other 10 containers, cpu usage is at 5-7% and ram usage is at 1.3g.
At the end of the day, I prefer sublime-text. I would say plex is like sublime-text: closed source but free, minimal and performant, while jellyfin is like atom: open source and slightly resource intensive. I have used both plex and jellyfin, on RPi 4. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or info. I just wondered if anyone might share a comparison at this point in 2021 (or point me to a link somewhere) so I might know what I'd gain or lose, should I switch, especially pointed towards AppleTV as the streaming device. I did try out the demo and, while it's hard to compare to a fully media library, it was extremely snappy and the layouts are clean, informative, and gorgeous. A couple of people made snide laughing comments about JF, while others said what has been achieved is truly amazing. I just wondered if there was an up-to-date comparison of Jellyfin vs Emby/Plex and what features (if any) it may be missing that a person would really notice. I've read about JF for awhile now and watched it mature and know many of the basic features. Someone in an Emby thread mentioned that Jellyfin has achieved really good tone mapping on AppleTV and that your HDR playback may now be better than any others. However, I've just learned that Emby doesn't play as nicely as it should with AppleTV and almost completely lacks HDR playback except for one solitary format. I'm about to get an AppleTV because I do want the integration with not only all our devices but also the IoT integration with HomeKit, cameras, etc. I ended up adding Emby Premiere when it was on a Black Friday sale so now I have both.
For most, as I said, Emby is "good enough", and avoids the concerns Plex has built up over the last few years in particular.Been a Plex Lifetime PlexPass user for 7+ years now and then switched to Emby about 2 year ago, when Plex just wasn't listening to their core user group any longer and not fixing really basic things (like adding a darn repeat button to playlists). I'll likely eventually move all my people over to Emby, but I won't be surprised if there's a little friction from my less technically adept users (read: the old folks). But if you are already running Plex, it's just enough nicer to give you pause switching to Emby. If you were running Emby already, Plex isn't so much nicer it's worth switching. Nothing is bad about Emby, it's just not quite as refined as Plex, is how I would describe it. That said, in a no prior comparison situation, Emby is good enough, and addresses things that are annoying about Plex, from the POV of running it.
But the little bits add up, not hugely, but enough that Plex is just a little nicer over all. Plex is better for the average user, it's a little more polished, just a little more, in most places. The things that are annoying about Plex, are annoying to those of us managing it as a server, but almost everything about it that isn't artificially worse (like the user/auth setup) is a little better, especially for the users. In the wide open-ness of that question, Plex.
