I'm using jellyfin daily as my primary media server for few years now, even having Plex pass I still somehow prefer jellyfin over it.
Jellyfin π
Tried it recently and I still prefer Plex. Jellyfin doesnβt seem to want to display in order of last added. What advantages do you like about it?
Plex keeps getting more tightly intertwined with their cloud offerings. It kept breaking for me when they kept changing the config to disable the Plex online account requirement. I finally gave up fighting with it and moved to Jellyfin. It's not so much that Jellyfin does anything better as much as it is that Plex kept making itself worse with online requirements I didn't want.
Daily driver here. The main dashboard page does show your most recently added media and you can also sort both movies and TV Shows by most recently added by changing the sort order. I've been using Jellyfin for a couple years now after I outgrew an older Kodi/MySQL setup and it does everything I need. Never even tried Plex honestly.
