Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again

I MUCH prefer Jellyfin to Plex. Jellyfin seems to have active development whereas Plex is more interested in adding in a ton of “features” (aka garbage) that I never ever wanted and continues to leave YEARS old bugs out in the wild. I think it won’t be long until Plex enshittifies itself to death. They clearly have a financial situation that is not aligned with its users.

Plex has a client on my TV and Xbox. How would I watch Jellyfin content on those?

I say this a guy that got his RasPi3 Plex server running just good and stable a year ago and doesn’t touch it except to cycle in new content.

  You could use Emby instead. Jellyfin is the FOSS version of Emby and Emby has apps for everything. I moved to Emby from Plex five years ago or so and it’s been great.

  In the worst case scenario, you can access it via browser and then bookmark it.
  
  I do that on my tv for which almost no apps can be installed and found no issues so far. Even HDR media plays, which I found that it is (or was?) a paid feature on Plex

I agree, I’ll give the software another try once I have more free time to learn and troubleshoot

  Infuse is only $10 per year and that includes on your Apple TV and iPhone. It really is quite slick and looks really good.

    Agreed. This is not expensive at all. 100% worth the value which is less than a dollar a month.

    FWIW, my Plex Pass has worked to be much less than that since I purchased it.
    
    Much (not all) of the negative I see about Plex is associated with cost of a Plex Pass. If subscribing monthly, it costs more. If you play the long game with the Lifetime Pass, it’s dirt cheap and pretty darn solid.

Unfortunately, there’s no Jellyfin application on my TV, or I’d swap :-(
