Jellyfish is a fork of Emby.

  I think it’s the other way around? But emby went the paid way?

    Jellyfin is a fork of the Emby code back when they were OSS. They stopped being OSS, and Jellyfin forked.

      Mh are you sure about that? I use emby because I like open source but I despise free stuff (at least when one can afford to pay), and I've seen that their server is definitely release under GPL license? But is paid? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/LICENSE.md https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/LICENSE.md Afaik I am not sure anymore who forked who but I've seen convos on IRC back then and the issue was solely the fact that emby devs wanted to be paid

            Making a project open source doesn't mean you can't close-source it later on and cease distributing updates, like what Emby has done. Jellyfin forked from the last open-source version of Emby that was available under a liberal license.

              Yeye I just didn’t notice the last tag on GitHub

          It is unfortunate they did not just do the paid route and keep it Open Source.

            Yeah it is a shame agree

    Which is why Jellyfin forked from Emby, and why you'll find 540 references to the word "emby" in the source code. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/search?q=emby https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/search?q=emby
