This is laughably false. JF has very bad matching, bad UI, no theme music (the third party plugin is awful) and any Plex feature equivalent is supplied by a random third party plugin that barely works. I spent 3 weeks trying to migrate to JF from Plex and I found it vastly inferior on every metric including playback where I had to play around with each client SEPARATELY just so it plays content.
- senectus1 3y ago>no theme music oooh BIG selling point for me.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoIt has it, the plugin works fine.
- senectus1 3y agono you miss my point. I hate that feature. I may move to JF just so i dont get it :-P
- averageRoyalty 3y agoOh haha, I guess I did. I don't use Plex, but surely you can just turn it off in preferences somewhere?
- smarkov 3y agoThis makes it out to be so much worse than it actually is. It's good at what it does - serving media to all your devices. No online accounts, no phoning home, no advertisement, no BS. I've had no trouble with either the web UI or any of the apps available on android/TV. Admittedly I've never used Plex but I can't imagine it doing any of that much better.
- halJordan 3y agoIt's not hard to miss what you don't know. But take intro skipping. Awesome feature. JF still doesn't have it. It's not necessary, but hard to give up. And frankly you shouldn't have to give it up. The swiftfin client still is missing features. Oauth is still a "won't support" feature. The devs abandoned and locked their subreddit in a fit of pique. There's a litany of reasons the project won't replace plex.
