Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    I have both. Plex for family and Jellyfin for me. I still don’t have hardware transcoding working (probably a permission thing. It’s always permissions) and haven’t had much time to tinker this year. Plex just… worked.

    I can use Jellyfin without transcoding, but only one or two users at a time is all my CPU can handle.

        Both are docker containers. It can detect the card, but ffmpeg crashes with an error and that’s as far as I got.

        I haven’t given up, life just got busy for a bit as often happens.

          Okay, I haven’t tried using docker, so I can’t help directly, but I set up my Plex server with help from Jellyfin documentation. You could probably find something in there about setting up hardware acceleration on docker, if you haven’t already. They should work with Plex, as well.
