  Emby’s better than both, but jellyfin folks are probably going to crucify me for saying that.

    jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.

    Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

      Yeah, I get it. I just prefer the polish.

      Can’t say me remote entry isnt working. Was streamong it from my phone in the firefox and chrome browser while on the go and also from my work pc.
      Can’t imagine how easier one wants it to be in comparison (it’s literally like navigating to Youtube).

        Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

    Always funny how anyone is crucified for using Windows or (how dare you) paid and/or free proprietary software.

    Yet when it comes to something like Plex they always backpedal and either state that they don’t have something like that or it’s so convenient.
    If one goes on a (F)OSS crusade at least be consistent… >:(

    As s someone with lifetime Emby premium, I switched to Jellyfin.

      Why?

        Emby development is dead in the water. It works, it’s stable, but it’s treading water. And because it is partially closed source the addon development community is not as robust. If you try it and it has what you want, it works just fine. But I want an active community making new features and developing add-ons and extending what I get out of it. I did not need premium to get a similar feature set out of Jellyfin, I am an experienced self hoster so I was able to switch without missing a beat. And now I can click a button to skip and intro, or the recap for the episode I just finished watching. And I can try the very large set of add-ons that are out there.

  The UI for Jellyfin is horrendous.

    I don’t get that. Both display content and seem very similar. Now does Jellyfin have problems yes.
