Jellyfin I don’t have to update if I don’t want to. Jellyfin can’t force me to update by taking a function I currently have away or force my to pay to keep using it the way I currently am. With open code I can fork it and keep it at the version I want if I choose.

At least for now. Jellyfin was spawned from Emby who also decided to go closed source at one point. You’re still at the whim of strangers and what they want to do with the product they developed.

And even if you do code it yourself, you may have dependencies that do undesirable things outside your control.
