At least Jellyfin let's you work out the encoding kinks, and set stuff up the way you want.
Meanwhile if plex has central issues transcoding stops working because they force check plex servers for new profiles every time a transcode starts, and if the check fails it just hangs forever (assuming it has Internet access but specifically can't access the plex url with the transcode profiles. Also this might be solved now but it was a problem just a few months ago)
