Definitely Plex, it's pretty much the entire reason I'm self hosting in the first place!
Haven't watched or listened to any mainstream media in another way for years and it also gets plenty of usage from other people.
I think jellyfin is better, isn't it?
Jellyfin is free and open-source, which is why it is very popular with the lemmy crowd. But unless you value those two aspects extremely high, it's not better.
Eh, I think it depends.
In terms of display and content management, even how the client apps work, I'd say Jellyfin is far, far ahead.
Plex's only advantage (to me) would be remote access, and even then I'd say its just how accounts are handled. Which is only good when Plex auth is working properly, and an absolutely awful experience when its not.
I like having SSO in front of JF, I think its a much better experience. Now I just need to figure out how to get my kids to use SSO without a device... Which I'm leaning toward an NFC reader and a tag for each of them, maybe in a toy or something they can tap to a reader. TBD.
