People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I absolutely love jellyfin and frequently take advantage of its features. But the client absolutely suck butt. When I can hardly get my mom to remember which app on her TV lets her watch what, I can't also have her fucking around with play buttons that don't do what they say, a "continue watching" list that's often haunted by episodes that have been marked as watched, or inscrutable menu icons mashed into the top-right corner of a media browser.

And don't get me started on getting people logged in on the client.
