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?
With Plex, there’s zero URL input even on initial setup. You just login with your username/password and off you go.
It’s the initial setup that scares people in my life. They hardly know what a username/password is.
Daily usage of Jellyfin, 100% agree. I use it daily as well, even have Jellystat installed even though I’m the only one who uses it.
