Just like title. I remember there is a very detailed guide for setup a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr for streaming from everywhere in my house. But I can’t find it anymore.
If anyone has a guide and share it, I would be appreciate.
Plex does reencode and sync to phone for offline watching. Jellyfin you would stream direct. If you often go places with no Internet then sync is better, otherwise you’d be fine.

Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - Install Jellyfin
What’s so great about jellyfin anyways? I have a lifetime plex pass so I’d be a waste of my money if I stopped using plex
This article covers it in depth.

It’s a different answer for someone already invested and paid up for life on plex though than it is for someone looking to do their first install.
I noticed jellyfin doesn’t have mobilesync, does that mean I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff away from home on my phone for example?

At work I don’t have wifi so I’m forced to use my phones 4g
If you pre-encode and sync over episodes for later, then yes plex will work better for you. If you watch streaming over 4g then you’d be unaffected
It’s worth to mention the Findroid app which can download for offiine viewing
I watch totally fine on my phone and pickup at home. It should sync to your log in account in my experience
Nothing if you’re already set up in Plex and your server isn’t in a data center.
I just have a small optiplex I use as my server with a 4 drive HD bay
A friends setup had better transcoding performance with Intel ARC on Jellyfin than on Plex with 4K HDR10 content
plex had 0.7 frames rendered per frame shown Jellyfin had 1.1 frames rendered per frame shown
so while plex was lagging jellyfin did not
Some reason I read this as one sentence. Haha. I think it’s because it didn’t make a line break on Sync.
I have edited it to prevent such misreading :)
