a media streaming service is the biggest reason I set up my home server in the first place, and when I was first getting started, jellyfin vs plex was the easiest decision of my life. do I go with the weird corporate closed-source paid license platform, or do I go with the foss equivalent that’s just as good?
Jellyfin was a much less obvious choice 5-10 years ago. It’s really gotten comparable in just the last few years. But that’s the joy of open source, it can only ever get better from here. Plex on the other hand 😬
True, true. I’m gonna have to move off it eventually for sure. Whenever I have the extra memory I plan to run a jelly in parallel to plex so I can find and patch any shortcomings.
