Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.
I went with Emby after I started having concerns with privacy on Plex. I have a lifetime sub of Plex and used it for like 8 or 9 years, but I really dislike that they would send emails to users about stats of who watches what, etc.
I would have gone Jellyfin too, but Emby has a cloud connect setup for easy server switching, and I wanted the LDAP plugin among many other plugins available.
I run both, jellyfin for people who want to download stuff to their phone without the plex pro thing and plex for everyone else since I find it much easier for user management
I run both Plex and Jellyfin. I always watch my videos with subtitles and for that reason Jellyfin is still unusable for me. Subtitles are too big on one platform but too small on another. Size adjustment is broken. No Subtitle delay adjustment. Downloading subtitles is an external process.
I still use it for an occasional video that needs transcoding, but it really needs to fix subtitles before I can ditch Plex. There are other minor issues with JF over Plex, but they are not dealbreakers.
Thanks for mentioning this. I recently switched to kodi for my tv setup and it works well with plex. I wonder if jellyfin would work with it. I might try it.
In this house we use Plex
Looking closer at the image, I’m going with “in this house we use single sideband.” (But, as a Plex user, I love yours too.)

Yet Jellyfin has no financial issues and even asked people to stop donating to them but to support other projects instead.

Watching my torrents over SSTV
I thought that was against the fediverse laws.
The FOSS commandos will be at their house shortly
