I have only used Plex very briefly before I moved to try Emby then Jellyfin. Granted I am not a heavy user of a media server - basically no one else in my household uses it, and I don’t have a lot of content, but I do use sonarr / radarr with it.
The moment Plex put me off was when I realized a Plex Pass was needed to add transcoding capability. What are some of the reasons people like Plex better than Jellyfin, other than those who have been using Plex forever and are just too lazy to explore other options?
Plex seemed easier to get into but I’d rather run open source where possible so it was an easy choice for me. Like yours mine is also for the *arrs but we’ve fully migrated to using those with jellyfin as the primary source of media since Comcast seems incapable of not downing the internet for whole days lately
