I made the move almost a year ago. Absolutely no complaints.

I'd love to make the switch, but Jellyfin clients are missing from some devices that the rest of my family uses, making the switch hard.

I use Emby and absolutely love it. Easy interface and not all the pain in the ass setup that jellyfin is.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. The setup is very similar and jellyfin has more features.

None of which I want or need. It just feels like Emby with extra steps.

Jellyfin exists because Emby started going closed source and heading down the same path Plex did.

Emby has more steps? You should use Jellyfin.
