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

    As a Jellyfin user that has lurked in past “Plex did bad thing X” threads and someone suggested jellyfin.

    The usual reasons are

    • Remote login (through their relay)
    • Which also plays into remote streaming
    • Plex Amp (their music player) is supposedly the absolute best of anything
    • Very easy to sign up (both the admin and family and friends

    At least that’s what I remember at the top of my hat.

      I used to be on plex for similar reasons.

      Remote login is still a hassle of course. I work around it with a VPN but that causes issues sometimes.

      Plex Amp went great for a while for me until it suddenly didn’t. The app got incredibly laggy on my phone when I was playing playlists of a 1000 songs or more. I switched to navidrome + Symfonium as an alternative and set up remote access with a cloudflare tunnel.
