I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

    Doesn’t feel as polished, the music tagging was much worse, and the UI overall was not as good, as much as I hate the"recommend" section of plex.

    Also I think there was something else. At the time I was running plex in freebsd and fin was only on Linux.

      @cyberpunk007

      I agree with you.

      It works better for me though, especially because I never paid for plex pass, so I don’t have access to hardware accelerated transcoding on plex.

      UI though, has never really been all that big of an issue for me. If I can navigate quickly, I am good.

      I can say with certainty though that the plex roku app is way better than jellyfins.

      I have to admit, I really love the skip into feature on Plex. The fact that it runs locally and just analyzes audio for it is super cool for me.

      It’s above my knowledge to do it myself, but I’d love to see that implemented in jellyfin eventually.

        @pyrodorobo @cyberpunk007 It’s there as a plugin, but isn’t as reliable as what Plex does (for my library at least).

        The Android TV client also doesn’t support showing the button, so you have to always have it automatically skip. ☹️

          Oooh I might have to play around with it some more then. I have it running alongside Plex but haven’t used it in a bit
