I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there's always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

It just can't find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it's hard to switch :(

All my media is shared from a Raspberry Pi 4 with a HDD attached to it via NFS. Jellyfin runs as a container on a cheap Chinese mini pc I got off AliExpress. I've not had any issues over the network. It even transcodes on a share of the Pi as my SSD that has Jellyfin on is too small for larger movies.

Plexamp right now is the biggest reason I have not even thought of moving to something else. I have yet to see a music player that comes close to the features Plexamp has.

Hard agree. PlexAmp has been stellar.

I loved the idea of navidrome and also briefly ran an instance, and like you use plexamp heavily. I stopped using Navi because one day it broke, and I found the plexamp experience just better.

Maybe it's time to try again.
