Jellyfin is nowhere near the better option, it’s just a not-terrible dev.

Plex is refined and easy to get external users not familiar with tech up and running. Plex looks better. Plex transcodes better.

No hate for Jellyfin, just calling it how I see it.

Similarly, I feel the same way about Jellyfin but Plex is making it really hard to be a Lifetime Pass member as well.

Agree, they’re making all the wrong moves lately
