  Interesting - I bought Emby this year for serving local media - my one gripe is no thumbnails/preview when you scrub over the timeline - this one has it. Will give it a spin.

    Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby, created after Emby went closed source.

      I wondered why the UI elements looked so similar. I had tried Emby as my first media server, and then realized there were paid features, and switched to Jellyfin.

    There's actually ongoing work on extremely efficient tooling for thumbnails/previews :)

      That's good to hear!

        For jellyfin, that is. For emby, I doubt they’ll manage to even copy the technique

  They work very well together. There are two different Kodi plugins that make Kodi into a Jellyfin player. I personally prefer JellyCon as it’s more lightweight and works smoother for low-resource devices. Jellyfin-Kodi has more features and deeper integration with the library. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi https://github.com/jellyfin/jellycon https://github.com/jellyfin/jellycon

  I'm still on Emby only because it "just works" with Chromecast, but the second Jellyfin gets that sorted, I'm moving over.

    Not sure why you're being downvoted. Emby and Google are non-options for me but I can understand choosing it for a feature that's critical for you.
