Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 10 months agoEmby’s better than both, but jellyfin folks are probably going to crucify me for saying that.
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… >:(
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.
It’s not the same as a native app, but I use my Jellyfin instance on my Samsung TV via the internet browser. Scrolling is a bit of a hassle and 4K Streams apparently don’t work, but otherwise it works just fine
I believe the AndroidTV client is the only really aczively developed client.
Using roku jellyfin app daily, but I agree the fact that jellyfins app hasnt been approved for tizen yet is a point against it

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.
