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?

Question about the viewing habits data. Is this only related to the Free Ad Supported Streaming content Plex pushes or are they also tracking viewing habits of users personal libraries?

There's no way of knowing, which is the whole problem with their model and why a lot of us self host things in the first place. Even if they super duper promise not to use the data, they could be lying. And if they are actually true to their word today, that could change tomorrow.

We know the data goes to Plex.

I would not bet you ANY amount of money they'd leave any stone unturned on data sales.

That's why none of the stuff I sign up with them is using any of my usual credentials, they do have my ip though.
