Plex Device Compatibilityįrom a pure compatibility standpoint, Plex supports significantly more platforms than Jellyfin does.

However, you can run Jellyfin on any device that supports Docker (even something like a Raspberry Pi).įinally, there are a bunch of client devices that you can install Jellyfin on, and for the most part, any device you’re using will have support for some type of Jellyfin client application. One of my favorite devices to run Jellyfin on is a Synology NAS as people who own a NAS will generally keep their media on that device. Simply having a Docker package will give you support on tons of different devices, so technically, Jellyfin’s support is broad.

I have found that Jellyfin runs best on Docker, and in my opinion, this is the most important platform for any application to have support for because Docker is widely used on various different platforms. There are many devices that have installation packages for Jellyfin, however, the list is much smaller than it is for Plex. The server applications are different than the client applications. PlexĪs mentioned above, Jellyfin and Plex both must be installed as a server, meaning that you must pick a device that will store your media and install Jellyfin or Plex on that device. Plex below to compare some of the differences between both applications.
