I've used Plex, currently on Emby - why should I switch to Jellyfin, they seem identical? Almost a fork really. Appreciate the info, this is a real question and I can make the switch easily enough :)
- cmeacham98 5y agoJellyfin is an OSS fork of Emby, which went proprietary and stopped distributing source code.
- bluGill 5y agoJellyfin is an Emby fork as the other said. However they are diverging over time, each some some features that the other doesn't, or things that work better in one than the other. Both are moving targets.
- Mashimo 5y agoJellyfin forked from Emby about 2 years ago and are still rewriting the spaghetti code from emby. You can use hardware decoding for free on jellyfin. It's open source. Emby is now closed source.
