What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.
I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.
I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.
I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.
I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part
Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha
Oh damn, that looks especially rad! I do run Home Assistant and pipe everything through a selfhosted MQTT server, so there are a ton of use cases I can think of for video detections being piped through MQTT for me. Ty!
Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex
Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

I’ve been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.
All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?
