I second that motion! Maybe live with each for a couple weeks, see how each performs, check out the respective communities. I occasionally check in to see if anyone has done anything unique or interesting. So far, neither has anything shiny or new and my Plex keeps humming along, doing everything I need it to do.
I've been doing this for the last few months, 3 containers that pull from the same media library. It's fun to compare, but unfortunately, jellyfin doesn't have a lot of apps. Have to say, after the newer PMS came out, kind of been using Emby and JF a lot more. Each has it's quirks but feels as good or better in some areas, and less polished in others.
@@chefbennyj Jellyfin isn't bad, only one to have hw transcoder with their free version of the server. In fact, Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin are all based on the same media server, they each just handle tasks slightly different and display information their own way. I go to JF first these days, but I use Plex and Emby just as much.
I would love to see emby versus plex. Things I want to see. Maybe start with the shield pro as a test platform and test. Codecs, dv support(profile 5 and 7, FEL and MEL, mp4 and mkv. These are all super touchy for plex. Android can only handle mkv dv and all others only handle mp4 for dv on plex. Subtitles Dts x and truehd atmos support. Speed, and transcoding Then maybe test other platforms? To be honest it would be quite complex. But if done right would be wonderful to see. I did start doing this but emby just had way too many issues with various formats at the bleeding edge for me. Like DV issues. Emby did always handle high bitrate stuff better though and transcoding is a bit more friendly on emby.
You’re welcome for the USB fan tip for under your attic switch. Works well for sitting under the smaller Unifi switches, USG and cloud keys that run really hot. Keep doing your crazy shit… At least you have someone around now that can call 911 for you!
YES, you can expand a RAID! Please don't comment on things you don't know... For RAID 5 you need a minimum of 3 disks (without any hot spares). You can then add as many disks as you would like afterwards, but they should be of the same capacity and model. Synology SHR allows you to add larger disks to the RAID and get some extra disk space for the newer larger disks. I just did this myself. I went from 10TB x4 in a RAID 5 on an Asustor NAS. I migrated to a Synology just for the SHR so I bought two new 16TB disks. I migrated all data from the RAID 5 to these two new 16TB in JBOD mode. Then I moved the 4x 10TB disks to the Synology NAS, created a RAID-5 and moved all the data from the 16TB JBOD to the 10TB RAID 5. Then I added the 16TB disks to the RAID5 SHR, and I got more storage than if I didn't use SHR. Also, when I one day in the future get rid of the 10TB disks, I will get full use of the 16TB drives. Ps. I think KillaBitz is confusing RAID with ZFS. ZFS can't be expanded, and therefore many consumers don't choose ZFS (and it requires a lot more powerful HW).
We need TH-camrs that clearly don't know what their doing but try anyway, as long as they're honest about it and warn the viewer upfront.... Take it as a entertainment and watch me fail type of video 🤷🏼♂️ why not. At least that's how I watch your videos. At LEAST I learn what NOT to do 😂😂😉
In your Emporia power monitoring review, you showed approx 70 kWh used for the day. At $0.12 per kWh (avg price in KS, I think - yours may be different), that's $8.40 per day.... Do you make enough off mining to pay for that? Just curious.
Yes! Plex Pass vs Emby Premiere vs Jellyfin please! HW transcoding on Shield and a Intel CPU (NUC) would be awesome. I just bought myself Emby Premiere and am moving away from Plex Pass. I life the interface of Emby better, and I think Emby is much snappier at least for local use (which myself primarily use this for, family use external and transcoding). The initial feedback is that remote users managed to play back some 4k HDR content which didn't work with Plex on the same server (Nvidia Shield). Three thumbs up for this!
My Plex is hosted on Unraid. I had a catastrophic fail. Lost 3 drives in one hit. Parity drive + 2 data drives. I've accepted the loss of data. It sucks, but shit happens. My question is, before I replace my drives and get Unraid back up and running. Can I access my Plex metadata and get a list of all the media it thinks is there? Just so I know exactly what I've lost?
I think this year you should bring in your new sidekick to join in with ya on the year end drink-a-thon and make it a tag team...you know change things up from the norm...maybe something to think about
coming late to the party, so might be talking out the wrong orifice until I watch the solar videos...... If I get to play with solar, (50vdc system) I'd be curious to try some 48VDC PSUs for my gear, bypassing the two APC 2800W UPSs I currently use. Supermicro has them, as reference that they exist. Also a backup generator for the coming grid failure.
Jason, Honestly i would love to see a video with the new synology OS version with installing plex and configurating it. Also maybe a tautulli video on how to set it up via docker.
Thank you for replying to my Plex VS Emby idea, it has had a lot of feedback, my ideas are: best for home nas eg synology, best for cheap repurposed old pc (old nuc. old i5 4th gen and micro servers like ). best for super computer and best for Unraid or similar, so in a nutshell a 2hr video, LOL
re transfer switch speed;;;;;;; fast doesn't equal good, to move a decent size contactor takes a moment. It's no good having a super fast switch if it melts as soon as you put a load on it
Plex is great but i think a comparison between the two would be a great video to do maybe take it from the prospect of a longtime Plex user switching to Emby. how the migration goes and not just for the server but also for your most used devices. what works better if anything and what doesnt work as well
When my dad built out the basement in Canada the inspector said you did this yourself didn’t you? Yes why? Because you followed the code perfectly. It’s not rocket science to do electrical and plumbing properly.
I bought four Sony TVs and only the oldest 75” one doesn’t do the best at 4k streaming son i have an apple tv on that but I still run infuse on it for 4k. The oled masterclass and the led fald ones run android and plex on android just perfectly. I don’t even use my nvidia shield anymore.
I switched to Plex cause getting Emby(at the time) to work with my HDHomerun tuners was a pain and required to run a separate program but sine I sprang for the Plex lifetime pass I I guess I now have Plex for "free".
Emby > Plex for the simple reason they aren't collecting data about your media server. Even if Plex weren't, I think the functionality is much closer now given Plex have disappeared down a rabbit hole of trying to provide you with their own content.
@Kenneith Middlebrrok @Byte My Bits You can't do A Raid with just one drive, you can add-on yes but you won't be able to start a riad without reformating the primary drive you need at least 2-3 drives to start a Raid-0 or a Raid-5, Raid typically clones/mirrors the primary drives and puts it to another so one drive fails you can have a back up on that existing Raided drive and once it's replaced the new drive takes over for that raid array as the back up drive.
Plex vs Emby 2022 ftw! Start with testing live TV and realize Plex just can’t do it as well as Emby. Load up some HDHomerun channels or IPTV channels…Plex just suuucks at loading tuners, period.
Having major issues with plex fast-forward and rewind of DVR recordings. So, I added Emby to my server, FF & RW work great. Plex is starting to focus on too much added crap with these TV channels that I will NEVER watch. They want the network money, so they don't want you to FF through commercials. Compare Emby to Plex.
Built-in TV suck even $100,000 in the new smart TVs The apps are still slow everything still sucks and then you have to worry about support because you know they always stop support do you think like oh clogs 6 years is still works yeah a TV should last until you want to upgrade a TV just needs to be a TV I shouldn't have to worry about stupid apps That's why it's better just to get a side device that you can pay for how much performance you want
Victron can suck it. over priced junk (well not junk they cost twice as much as units with higher specs and better quality components, I'll admit that there whole ecosystem looks cool the way it all works together)
Sadly the built-in plex client on my Samsung tv works better for uhd content then my nvidia shield tube. The interface might not be as snappy/responsive but there is far fewer pauses and video artifacts. The only thing that pisses me off about it is you have to use wifi as the ethernet is only 100mbps
Well that’s because the tube was a horrible product…it can’t playback high bitrate 4k. There will be no fix, it’s short on ram. The tube should never have been sold.
@@mrsittingmongoose Ok, but it has 2GB of ram, the other one has 3GB. Does it have so much impact on 4K playback? I have the tube and with some files it does stutter. the 3GB one does not?
@@mirceavis correct that difference in ram and being 32 bit is enough to make it not work. If you look in the plex and shield forums, plex sub, and shield sub, it’s heavily documented. Plex and Nvidia tried to fix it but they cannot. The pro has no such issues at all.

I’d be interested in Plex vs Jellyfin. Seems more and more are making the jump and jellyfin has been getting better and better
I saved money all year to have you drink on new years... Hope the wife shows up again!
When/if you do the plex/emby could you also toss in jellyfin. Would be nice to see how emby could have been if it stayed open source.

You can expand a Synology array but only if you pick Synology Hybrid Raid (or something)

The library scan in Emby is exponentially faster than Plex. What takes hours to run in Plex takes minutes in Emby.
I have JBL soundbar with Android TV, really happy with it.
Makes my old tv smart, and sound is so much bettet than build-in
Synology has a SHR format that uses parity that allows you to expand your raid.
Synology's SHR and SHR-2 are expandable.... Can't comment on the raid-5 scenario...
