I run Plex and jellyfin side by side. Plex usually gives me the most hassle free experience so I use that most of the time.
I prefer the flexibility of creating user accounts myself on jellyfin so that's nice.
But jellyfin after being up for 4~5 days balloons to 6GB of RAM consumption while Plex stays at ~200mb. Really annoying.
There must be something wrong with your Jellyfin install. Mine has been comfortably sat at 1GB RAM after what is currently about 2 weeks uptime. Sometimes I don't restart it for months on end. Never really goes above that. I only ever restart it in cases of extended power failure (I'm lucky enough to experience some power cuts that last 2-3 hours at times)
This is what literally every jellyfin user and forum has told me. So far it's been completely unfixable.
Plex support actually gives me useful responses.
Sorry to hear that man. At least your Plex server works, so that's something.
