Migrating my setup from Plex to Jellyfin (and a bunch of other apps to separate out the duties)
Streamystats is the stats tool for Jellyfin. Watch history, library analytics, AI recommendations, custom watchlists, and a Year in Review that shows you exactly what you watched.
Aggregarr did three jobs on Plex for me: collections, artwork, and home screen rows. Here's how that splits across Posterizarr, Maintainerr, and what Moonfin already does natively, plus where Seerr quietly covers more than I expected.
Plex stores audiobook progress at the track level, splits it by account in ways that don't survive a re-scan, and nobody had built a tool to move it to Audiobookshelf. So I wrote one, hit a couple of bad title-matching bugs along the way, and open sourced it.
The Navidrome iOS client ecosystem has been quietly getting good. Nautiline has been my go-to since Part 2 of this series. Then NaviBeat showed up. Here's how they compare.
Navidrome doesn't speak DLNA natively, and MusicCast doesn't speak OpenSubsonic. upmpdcli bridges that gap cleanly. It talks to Navidrome via the Subsonic API and advertises itself as a UPnP media server on your network.
Jellyfin handles music. It just doesn't handle it well. Here's the argument for splitting the stack and running Navidrome as a dedicated music server so Jellyfin never has to touch your music library at all.
Is enough, enough to switch to Jellyfin? Lets find out together.
