plex or Jellyfin?
I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?
You're viewing a single thread.
Plex has a few more features with plex pass.
However I switched to jellyfin a few years ago because I found everything to be too limiting and dependent on them. Including the necessity to pay for codecs / playback on some of their mobile apps.
Jellyfin is a lot less polished, but it works well and you're in control of everything.
I would recommend trying out jellyfin first. If you encounter some deal breaking issue or aren't happy with it, check our plex.
Jellyfin is offline too. My internet died for a week and I couldn't log into Plex...
You want to access your home media, at home, without contacting Plex servers first? Blasphemy!
