I did this a few months back.
Some things aren't as great, but you get full control and your server idles way better on JellyFin.
Yeah, as long as you have a decently supported client the entire platform is very serviceable. I do wish they would get rid of the unprotected endpoints and officially support 2FA on the server and clients.
For all their anti-consumer practices Plex does at least take their security very seriously.
I posted a while back, tested the biggest open endpoints and they were properly secured, the issues just weren't updated.
Note: Plex didn't have SSL, and refused to implement it, until ~6 weeks after I created a POC token exploit. Here's the GitHub repo I posted as a patch before they got their system in order: https://github.com/Fmstrat/plex-ssl. In other words, don't give them too much credit.

I'm on Jellyfin as they banned Hetzner.
Should clarify Plex banned using Hetzner :)
i'm ootl; how was plex able to ban them? isn't hetzner just a vps provider? (not questioning you; just curious)
Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can't reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.
that's wild :o
That's what you get for using anything that doesn't work fully offline. Seriously people still defending Plex and not seeing that it will bite them back sooner or later are delusional.
Given that hardware doesn't die, my Jellyfin will probably work until the heat death of the universe.

Basically it's possible by checkin IP of the server.

There's the story but there's not much tea.
I'm guessing there were just enough complaints and Hetzner refused to take anything down.
Really bizarre to license people self-hosting software and then refuse them from hosting it in certain places over what content they choose to put up.
I wonder if they'll just roll through all the VPS now.
