Frequently asked questions

How does Jellyfin compare to Plex?: Jellyfin is a fully free, open-source alternative to Plex with no premium tiers or account requirements. It supports the same media types and has apps for most platforms. Plex has a more polished UI and better smart TV support, but requires a Plex account and locks some features behind Plex Pass.
What media formats does Jellyfin support?: Jellyfin supports virtually all media formats including H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, VP9, FLAC, DTS, Dolby Atmos, and subtitles (SRT, ASS, PGS). It can transcode unsupported formats on-the-fly if your server has sufficient CPU/GPU power.
Does Jellyfin support hardware transcoding?: Yes, Jellyfin supports hardware transcoding via Intel Quick Sync, NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF/VA-API, and Video Acceleration API (VA-API). This dramatically reduces CPU load when streaming to devices that need transcoded media.
Can I access Jellyfin from outside my network?: Yes, you can expose Jellyfin via a reverse proxy with SSL (GoPanel handles this automatically). Jellyfin has official apps for Android, iOS, Android TV, Roku, Fire TV, and web browsers for remote access.
