I have setup Jellyfin as a docker container and will bind-volume the same locations as Plex, but I was interested in anyone's perspective having made the switch in the last year or so.

What are some things you miss, what are issues/benefits you hadn't expected?

From my migration experience Plex seems to be a bit more forgiving if you don't already have a fully organized media library complete with correct metadata, especially for large music libraries.

Also there is no Rasplex, i.e if you want a standalone Jellyfin client device for your TV you have to go through Kodi, there's no fire-and-forget finished image.

Jellyfin also doesn't seamlessly play movie files that have been split into parts, so I've had to do some manual ffmpeg concatenations to get many of my movies ready for it.

Then there is Plexamp, of course, which is still superior to Finamp in terms of features.
