I have used Plex for over a decade, and I’m now fulltime on Jellyfin.

Plex works trash on my TV (LG from 2019). Jellyfin with the exact same library just flies. The performance is just god awful while browsing your library.

• startup takes minutes
• moving between posters takes seconds
• searching is not debounced between key presses so searching takes ages
• Plex on my TV cannot seem to play different audio/language tracks correctly. I select my preferred language, I explicitly select language, I set it to default in the container, nothing. It just plays English no matter what. Trash.
• The developers don’t care about their users. These issues have been reported for literal DECADES, and they responded years ago but have since ignored them. I reported it more recently, have been ignored for years now, despite keeping the thread alive from auto-deletion.

Fuck Plex, they don’t care, I don’t care. Hail Jellyfin, it does all I need it to do. Performance is great. It handles multiple language tracks.

The only thing Plex did better was duplicate merging. 👍 Not worth it though. Strictly unusable on my TV in general.
