People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

After 22 hours and 291 comments, I can see that 80% is sunk cost, 15% never bothered to look at their Jellyfin client's settings, and the rest use a device that doesn't have a client for Jellyfin yet.

I tried Jellyfin and had some issues with it. I tried out Emby and everything was smooth sailing. Paid for premium and been using it ever since.

It’s a bit better supported on TVs than Jellyfin.

Never actually used or paid for plex

Just passing by from all, not much of a self-hoster myself, but I do have Plex running in my home. I just never really do much with it these days...it runs, I log into it and access my media. I'm not sharing with other people. I'm not using the other streaming services it tried to show me, etc. It works for now and I'm not invested enough to put in the work to switch to something else.

I will say/ask this though, I have a ton of music (video is secondary for me). I use plexamp on my phone all the time as my primary source of music. Does jellyfin do well with music + mobile pretty well out of the box?

I don't have PlexPass btw

I have a jellyfin server and use manet on iOS and it works perfectly well for me.
