    User error, at least you figured it out. It’s always free to stream in your own network.

      the thing is I always use the network name. Once I used the IP I couls go back to using plex.<mylastname>.TLD

        So now that you know the problem was user error, why exactly are you still switching to jellyfin?

            You’re using the wrong address, that’s how it’s user error.

            If you just use the Plex app you wouldn’t have this issue either. Were you watching media on your Plex server machine through a browser instead of just opening Plex, and you typed in a url in the browser? Plex say to always just use app.plex.tv as it takes care of it all for you so things like this don’t happen.

            There isn’t even a debate here though - it’s an issue with the way your network is set up, not with Plex. Plex’s networking is far more advanced and better technically than jellyfins.
