Hard disagree. I think jellyfin is much better than Plex.
I tried Jelly Fin last month based on a thread here and it was a damned dumpster fire. As bad a Plex is for remote streaming, JF is far worse for the average person.

Plex still has more features and is a more mature product. However, the Plex ship is on fire and people should be looking to move away before it sinks.
Fuck Plex.

In what way? I share my server with 8 friends/family and it does everything I need it to.

Unable to set up a working server for outside of the home network. Also, the UI is terrible and didn’t organize things well.

Setting up remote access is the same for Plex and Jellyfin so I’m confused. All you need is to forward port 8096 or use a reverse proxy like nginx if you want a domain.
I have plex.domain.com and jellyfin.domain.com and it was the exact same process for both.

None of that is needed if the server app for plex works as intended.

i’ve been using playit.gg to set up a simple proxy that i can share with my friends! You just forward the port that jellyfin uses and share the link (and it works for all manner of other servers)

When I tried that service recently I found that it’s incredibly slow. It’s like all the ISPs in the Philippines intentionally throttle it or something. In contrast to that, using Zerotier to connect instead gives me normal speeds.
