Worth checking out Jellyfin as well

[–] Jarmer@slrpnk.net 63 points 1 year ago (12 children)

I MUCH prefer Jellyfin to Plex. Jellyfin seems to have active development whereas Plex is more interested in adding in a ton of "features" (aka garbage) that I never ever wanted and continues to leave YEARS old bugs out in the wild. I think it won't be long until Plex enshittifies itself to death. They clearly have a financial situation that is not aligned with its users.

Plex has a client on my TV and Xbox. How would I watch Jellyfin content on those?

I say this a guy that got his RasPi3 Plex server running just good and stable a year ago and doesn't touch it except to cycle in new content.

In the worst case scenario, you can access it via browser and then bookmark it.

I do that on my tv for which almost no apps can be installed and found no issues so far. Even HDR media plays, which I found that it is (or was?) a paid feature on Plex
