You can self host Plex and it has more developed features than jellyfin. Sadly, Plex needs a subscription and it’s only worth it if you buy the lifetime on a flash sale.
I have a very organized Plex server that utilizes as much features as I can, and Jellyfin just lacked a lot of that. Basically that 10% missing is what I want. It’s not bad, if I was to redo everything from the ground up it’d be Jellyfin or Plex, but definitely not Kodi like suggested above.
Edit: I believe for me it was remote access ease of use by Plex that I use heavily.

yeaaaaaaah, and thats a big nope. Why does one need a subscription or a lifetime lease when you supposedly can self host? Subscription is what brought us into this mess in the first place.

Setting up a Wireguard / VPN isn’t that hard, and cuts out unwanted Corpos as well.
Why use Plex (and relying on trusting them) when you can selfhost Jellyin?

A VPN setting up for a mother who has no technical experience and lives 3 hours away and a grandparent who’s 80 and lives 2 hours away is indeed hard.
Most of my Plex was set up to cut streaming and cable on their end, I haven’t fully cut streaming yet… 😞
@DmMacniel @Casterial any advantage on jellyin over emby?
yeah, that its the open source fork of emby.
