I got a Plex lifetime sub back in the day. They never got rid of it, but they did enshittify the product out from under me.
Jellyfin πͺπ»
I tried it, but not only does the experience not feel nearly as polished, the performance is much worse than Plex in my experience.
Similar.
And no Plexamp.
Im using Jellyfin now. It's great, but it doesn't have the same support across platforms. It was nice to have a native Plex app on the TV, Xbox, etc. I'm now just switching to Chromecasts on the TVs and teaching my wife to use the app for everything.
Same here, although I'm still using it. It's doing what I got it for and some of the additions are welcome (I use live TV fairly often and some friends and I are sharing libraries) but I have been concerned. What made you switch and did you find something better?
I still actively use Plex, but I've been trying Jellyfin. It's almost there but still has some work to do to catch up to Plex fully. However, its wonderfully free from bloat. I can't stand all the crap they've added to Plex. Especially when I search for content that's IN MY LIBRARY and the result it sends me to is a streaming service I don't even have. π‘
Yeah, I have never really used search for that same reason, I donβt have enough to lose track of anyway.
Thanks for the reply though. I hear about jellyfin a lot and my needs are simple so Iβm gonna give it a go.
I still find myself using Plex for its native DVR functions. NextDVR alway seemed a little bit buggier, after finally getting an IPTV source working in Plex I went back (at least for DVR stuff).
Edit: forgot to add, Plexamp and the way Plex does its sonic analysis is worth the lifetime subscription cost to me.
Plex is such ass
