Why not Emby?
Good question; I did not know what Emby is until just now. I will explore it some more, I'm having issues getting the jellyfin ios/android clients to connect consistently to my server so I might ultimately do that instead / in parallel but I'm leery of freemium solutions.
I get that; I’ve tried Jellyfin and it’s just not (IMHO) mature enough as a Plex replacement. Emby comes pretty close.
Note: I’m a plex lifetime subscriber, Emby free user, and Jellyfin user.
Nice, I appreciate the analysis. I'm still early enough on with Jellyfin that I'm still willing to ascribe every issue to user error but I think I see what you mean. But I keep telling myself that I will contribute to a large multi-dev OSS project at some point and still never have; contributing code in public is still kinda nerve-wracking. maybe if I have a selfish enough reason to fix something I'll finally push through that 😆
