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?

  • I tried setting up both for a local music server last year, and found Plex's cloud requirements and constant upselling were more of a pain than it was worth. Jellyfin was the one I kept.

    • I was left unimpressed by jellyfin's photo and video capabilities. Tags detection often was inconsistent/incomplete and metadata retrieval to fill the gaps made things worse in many instances. If you want something specialized for audio, that has great support client side, you should give airsonic-advanced/navidrome/subsonic a shot
