        I made the switch this week. Jellyfin took about 10 minutes to set up and left it overnight to scan my files. I only had to make a few corrections.

        You can always try it out in a VM or container or even run both at once.

        You can cast it onto a chrome cast though I haven’t tried this yet.

            Yeah exactly. My girlfriend is not tech savvy. It needs to be as easy as Netflix, meaning I need it to run on the smart tv.

          Casting is as easy as it is on plex, I have a plex lifetime pass and can’t think of anything useful it does that jellyfin can’t do too.

          I use the jellyfish app on both chrome tv and fire tv sticks. Works great. I did have one issue and had to set the default playback in both apps to something (internal?) to fix some audio sync issues.
