For me, Plex works great on my Synology while Jellyfin is completely unusable - video payback simply crashes. Running Jellyfin on my desktop machine gets it to work, but it takes over 24 hours to scan my media library and doesn't automatically add new media when I add new files.

So the server part runs worse from your NAS? That seems odd but I have never run either from a NAS so no idea how to help. =(

Yep. I'm guessing it insists on transcoding the video but doesn't have the horsepower. Plex either has a superior transcoder or detects it doesn't need to transcode it.
