I've heard a lot about Jellyfin and am interested in hearing from folks who have used both recently. It seems to be on many folks list of what to work on next but since I have a lifetime Plex pass I am hesitant to take up new software that me be in an upcoming phase of this project like Plex and Imich are in the first phase. And because the world of NAS systems and software is not my speciality I want to hear more success stories before I upset the apple cart myself. Perhaps not the best approach for a beta testing effort but i'll pull my weight yet. Though I can't access Plex externally yet, it was very easy to load both my movies and episodic tv. I head to do a little renaming of the files but everything show up with the correct episode name and date. I have a few issues where the episode order doesn't match Ples or IMDB for that matter but those feel like a small price to pay for every DR Who episode from Eccleston through Whittaker to just work. If the Jellyfin install falls under the new template option it sounds like is coming next I may give it a go but I don't want to break HexOS because I couldn't wait and did something in TrueNAS. I am really in over my head there. As an aside, how did the PI5 work? I have a kit but haven't done anything with it yet? If it can run HexOS, that sounds like street cred and bragging rights. Ugh, I suppose the kids don't say it that way anymore.

As an aside, is all your storage NVME? Is it generally accepted that that type of storage is stable enough for a NAS with all the writing and rewriting? Just curious.

And to be realistic, it sounds like there were a lot of "Black Friday" licenses purchased so unless they need a fast cash influx what would really be the incentive? This is a business after all. Not to mention, Black Friday is not far off if they feel the need to bring on more people. But I am thinking they have a lot to develop and test with us before that time. These are exciting times in the consumer NAS space.
