I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.
It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.
What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?
EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into “smaller” instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can’t remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.
Jellyfin does allow you to import music and has its own library for it (it’s pretty basic IMO though). For mobile streaming, I use Synfonium (Android) as a client and log into jellyfin from there There’s also Navidrome which is a server and player and any app that uses subsonic can hook into Navidrome.
