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 used to be on plex for similar reasons.

Remote login is still a hassle of course. I work around it with a VPN but that causes issues sometimes.

Plex Amp went great for a while for me until it suddenly didn't. The app got incredibly laggy on my phone when I was playing playlists of a 1000 songs or more. I switched to navidrome + Symfonium as an alternative and set up remote access with a cloudflare tunnel.
