I have it set up right along Plex but find it nearly unusable because the search is atrociously slow. Like 1+ min to query my library. The day that gets fixed is the day I’ll start using it.

That shouldn't be. I run mine side by side with Plex and Jellyfin is much faster.

How big is your library? 1min is excessive but I also noticed jellyfins search getting slower with an increasing amount of shows and movies. There's projects like jellysearch which improve search noticeably.

My library is roughly 40TB in size. I think the main issue is just the shear amount of files to parse when it comes to my music library.

I did add a meilisearch and that did help a lot, but still slow enough to find it cumbersome

Yeah, music slowing down jellyfin search was the reason I moved to navidrome.

[–] brenstar@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I have that set up too and searching on that is very quick and responsive. I still end up just using Plexamp because I like the automatic playlists and radios. I’m sure there are ways to add those into navidrome, but haven’t explored it very far

Yeah I was wondering that too. Mine isn't huge, not tiny, but not huge either.
