I love open source. Jellyfin looks great, and Embey as well. But Plex "just works". I happily paid for a lifetime and would love to see more development. One of my most used services to watch home videos, listen to audiobooks, and stream my dvd collection.
- ElCapitanMarkla 3y agoThe others all lack the apps, Plex is a native app on my TV, Playstation, Phone etc, and it just works. I always found the other solutions to have pretty clunky client options outside of PC browser
- UtopiaPunk 3y agoI primarily use Jellyfin through the app on my Roku stick. Works pretty great for me and my family. I also have an old Android phone hooked up to old stereo system, and use the "Gelli" app for music playback. Also solid.
- ollien 3y agoThe jellyfin app pales in comparison on Roku. It lacks a lot of polish in the player, IMO
- mdhen 3y agoDisagree. It's got less shit, but it looks and feels better if you're goal is only media storage and playback
- ollien 3y agoI disagree. One of the big things that bugs me is you can't see how far you are through something without pausing. Also, you enable subtitles by pressing... Down on the remote? There's no button for it. It's all just polish
- malermeister 3y agoI've been using Jellyfin on Android TV and it works just as well as Plex did!
- primax 3y agoJellyfin native on fire stick and Android tv is far superior to Plex, given they started screwing up their apps to make people subscribe
- ElCapitanMarkla 3y agoInteresting, I’ll have to check it out. There was a young guy making some really good progress on an Apple TV app but I‘be forgotten what it was called
- tetris11 3y agoFun fact: Android TV is an android device, meaning when you pause a song Jellyfin and switch to another app, that song is still queued up in the background using the Android sound server. Meaning: You can overlay "My Sharona" on top of any running Netflix video.
- jhot 3y agoI run both Plex and Jellyfin on my server. Plex is a little more polished but I don't see how they can sustain a business. Mainly use Plex but Jellyfin is not far behind and good enough if Plex goes belly up.
- princevegeta89 3y agoI guess, if folks Plex keeps bowing their heads to investors, and not really focus on the values which they started the company with, things may end up going south for them in the coming months.
- scubadude 3y agoPlex on my PC and Infusion on Apple TV is a flawless experience.
