Plex is also a much better music player/streamer if you have plex pass with plexamp. Jellyfin’s audio renderer is pitifully bad by default, and only marginally better if you modify the factory file to use something like MPC-HC. Also, Jellyfin’s album and artist sorting is pretty mid.
Plus one for symfonium. I’m just wondering how to deal with my 5 star music ratings in plex. I typically listen to playlists based on a star rating of 3-5 stars and sometimes I’m only in the mood for 5 star songs so I have like 3 or 4 playlists. I would hate to have to individually rate songs all over again. Also seems like jellyfin only has a like system…
I’m guessing Symfonium doesn’t have custom DJ modes and automatic music mixes based on your local library and past listening habits? Their website doesn’t mention.
The DJ modes and track/album radio and artist mixes are what sold me on Plexamp.
Probably can’t, I’m on iOS; it looks to be Android only. Airplay is also a fairly important feature for me, since Airplay and DLNA are the main ways I send my music to devices.
Re: DJ modes, Plex does a full sonic analysis (ala Musicbrainz) of your music and uses this for mixes and DJs, for doing things like adding sonically similar songs into your set list or doing a sonic adventure every few tracks. It also uses metadata for stuff like playing tracks from the same artist, or same era (e.g 1990s).
The features make for very dynamic automatic playlists that work well and flow smoothly both within and between different genres.
Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
But I was mistaken on which features were locked behind the paywall. They charge for hardware transcoding but it sounds like sharing doesn’t require the subscription.

Just use Jellyfin with Symfonium
Or use Symfonium with Navidrome

Don’t know what DJ modes are but it has automatic mixes. Just try it I guess.

How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.

Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.
Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?
