Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network
ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 23 hours agoI can't say I've given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.
If I'm not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they're pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

Jellyfin forked from Emby in 2018 when Emby chose to switch to a closed-source model. Because of this, there are many similarities, but the projects continue to become very different from one another as well over the years.

I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn't require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.
