yep, I run them side by side and most of my personal use has moved over to JF.
in my opinion all that JF is lacking is better user management for remote users. The player apps are honestly fine if your clients have fairly modern dedicated playback devices.
Is jellyfin able to use one account to access multiple servers? Or how does that work?
their accounts are all local to each server, rather than user accounts existing separately and having access granted to them, so I’d say no but I’ve never tried.
It would be up to the client app to log into multiple servers and I don’t think any of them do that without having to log out and switch servers then log in again, as opposed to plex where you can have one user logged in and pin libraries from multiple servers if needed.
Thats one of the things I wish JF did better but it's getting there slowly.
