plex or Jellyfin? (lemmy.world)

I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

I agree with you.

It works better for me though, especially because I never paid for plex pass, so I don't have access to hardware accelerated transcoding on plex.

UI though, has never really been all that big of an issue for me. If I can navigate quickly, I am good.

I can say with certainty though that the plex roku app is way better than jellyfins.
