Absolutely. They are not going to share metadata or things like played status, but I have been using both simultaneously since almost the first day I spun up my media server.
I definitely prefer Jellyfin overall, but Plex is more convenient for sharing with less techy family so I keep it spun up. Jellyfin also requires some finicky network configuration (so I have heard) to cast media to a Chromecast, so Plex wins out there.
On top of everything else, the fact that he called someone, anyone, “fully retarded” publicly and in writing blows me away. It’s literally a grade school level insult, and cringey as fuck coming from an adult.
Who reads a tweet like that and comes away thinking anything other than “holy shit, what a sad manchild”?
Seems like a stand-up guy
I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!
I’ll see myself out now…
Given your instance, I’m guessing you’re not from the US… but here there are two generally standard shapes for residential toilets–round and oblong. The round ones fit better in small bathrooms, but man when you are used to the oblong shape it feels like sitting on a child-size toilet or something.
I bought a set of mugs like that recently. It’s a shame because they are pretty nice looking, and comfortable to hold when empty. But when full of hot liquid, the handle just is totally inadequate.
They are from IKEA, so at least they didn’t cost too much, but I am a little surprised because their stuff is generally pretty well thought out from an ergonomics and usability perspective–it’s only really the sturdiness/durability I ever worry about.
The best mugs I have are still a pair of the stereotypical featureless cylinder type I got from a giveaway 10 or 15 years ago–they are utterly boring, but the handle fits 3 fingers for a perfectly stable grip!
I did the same as you at first TBH, but quickly found that as long as I dumped the files in generally the correct folder structure, Jellyfin would figure it out. And for the few it doesn’t, you can manually identify within the webUI as others have pointed out.
I also stressed a bit about shows, but have found that
/Show (YEAR)/Season 1/whatever garbage naming convention the torrent uses
generally gets picked up with no problems, even if there is an extra folder level beyond “Season 1”.
Thank you, this clears up some misconception i had about how the *arrs work!
Got it, thanks!
If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides
Yeah, that’s the rub… they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.
But it’s sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!
Yeah, I’m using Unraid, so this would all be in dockers.
I think maybe I had a false understanding that radarr (for example) interposes itself between the actual media files and Plex/Jellyfin… which sounds like a PITA to undo, and was giving me pause.
Thanks, this is helpful!
If I do a “clean” install, can i later identify specific pieces of media within a library to monitor?
I have some ratios in the 500s

I have around 400 items seeding 24/7. No problems at all, except that I am sending from my media server via my desktop,so I need to set speed limits in my torrent client to keep from saturating the wifi connection. (Slowly working to get things migrated over…)
Well dammit, that was it. THANK YOU!
I feel pretty stupid for overlooking something so simple, but since qBittorrent never indicated any kind of connection error, I didn’t even think to dig into such things.
I for sure hear you on the insane takes flying around! From the context it looked pretty clear to me that they were tagging on to your post rather than trying to contradict it, but who knows.
Posting sarcasm about a controversial topic without a “/s” tag is like fucking without a condom… it carries a risk, but sometimes you just gotta do what feels right!
Maybe I’m just getting whooshed here, but aren’t you and atzanteol saying the same thing? lol
Are they just getting downvoted because the forgot the “/s”?
I think it’s a lot more malicious than a neglect of institutional knowledge.
The people are suffering economic anxiety, Trump points at <insert economic partner> as the cause of their economic woes, and builds popular support for some stupid land grab that trades the country’s soft power for some quick corporate profits. By the time the long-term damage sets in, they are off to the next grift a few hundred billion dollars richer. Tale as old as time…
They know the damage they are causing–they just don’t care.
I’m using Proton’s VPN client, which does have port forwarding, but it’s not currently enabled. Could this be causing me issues?
Sounds like if I enable port forwarding, I just need to ensure qBittorrent’s “listening port” is set to whatever active port the VPN client is using.
Well butter my toast and call me Sandy, that sounds almost too good to be true!
Not OP, but I can answer part of your questions:
I have Plex and Jellyfin running off the exact same media library no problem at all. So there should be zero need to modify anything–if anything Jellyfin seems a little better at catching “extras” folders than Plex.
The Jellyfin app plays music–but it’s definitely NOT a music app. I always hear Symfonium highly recommended, but have not yet given it a whirl myself.
