  Isn’t enby closed source? Thats why Jellfyfin was created.

    Not JUST closed source, the project owner slammed the source shut with no discussion with the community and little notice nor did they even bother to consider any alternatives whatsoever

    They went about it in the shittiest most unforgivable way possible for an open source project.

    As far as I know emby is a jellyfin fork that I think they took closed source? I also went the emby route after getting annoyed at how much Plex was pushing their own content. Emby felt more polished to me than jellyfin, I get that there is some community resentment over some of their decisions but so far I haven’t had any regrets and have more control than with Plex.

      Jellyfin was forked from Emby years ago when Emby went closed source I believe on the 4.0 update.

  How is that any different from Plex? Other than presumably a worse experience.
