![]() ![]() With that said, support for Jellyfin is getting better in this area – it’s just not quite there yet.Īs an example, there’s a default package for Emby on a Synology NAS, however, there isn’t anything for Jellyfin. However, this is generally on the server side, meaning it’s easier to find and install a package for Emby than for Jellyfin. ![]() Emby Device Compatabilityįrom a pure compatibility standpoint, Emby supports 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 support 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 Emby. The server applications are different than the client applications. EmbyĪs mentioned above, Jellyfin and Emby 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. Emby below to compare some of the differences between both applications. With the tools to create a Raspberry Pi music server, HiFiBerryOS can also be used with HiFiBerry DSP and other DAC (digital-to-analog converter) boards available from the HiFiBerry shop. That’s quite a hi-fi experience, held together with a slick user interface based on Bang & Olufsen Beocreate, a separate project by the high-end electronic music engineers. With HiFiBerryOS installed, you’ll add Airplay, Bluetooth (unavailable on the Raspberry Pi 3B), DLNA, Logitech Media Server/Squeezebox, MPD, Snapcast, Spotify, Roon, and web radio station functionality. Of course, they’re also more powerful than older models, with the CPU and RAM enhancements crucial to smooth performance. The benefit of using the Pi 3 and Pi 4 is the inclusion of Ethernet, which is more reliable for music streaming. It will run on the Pi 0W and the Raspberry Pi 2, but is untested on these devices.

Use the Plex Media Server build for Raspberry Pi for the best results. This support page on the Plex website explains file organization and naming.Īs things stand, Plex should be your first choice of Raspberry Pi media server. If you do this, Plex will provide details about the media files in your library, like album or DVD covers, track listings, and so on. This enables the software to pull the appropriate metadata from the web. ![]() Note that Plex demands that your files are named in a specific format. You'll even find clients for current and last-gen consoles, Windows, macOS, and Kodi-not to mention the RasPlex client for older Raspberry Pi models. Meanwhile, media streamers such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and many Smart TVs also have Plex clients. Mobile apps are available for Android and iOS. Thanks to Plex's popularity, you'll be able to enjoy media streamed from a Raspberry Pi via Plex on various devices. ![]()
