Honestly, I made the switch about 6 months ago and haven't looked back once. The Jellyfin native Android TV app is a bit lacking, but I recently installed Wholpin and find it much better!

My only other gripe is that Plex allows you to set subtitle and audio language preferences per library while JF only allows one preference for the whole server. This is annoying for those of us enjoying foreign language films, where I often end up having to play with the settings every time I want to watch a foreign feature.

I've also heard that some people miss the syndication of Plex, where you have one account connected to many servers. I only connect to my own, so don't know much about this.

There is a syndicated Jellyfin project. Not tried it.

Ooohh. Language preference per library would be so nice. Not having to fuck with languages on anime would be so convenient.
