I'm more than willing to take the trade off of slightly worse metadata and a less polished UI vs plex reporting all my media, habits, etc to their movie studio bed partners. They've already turned on their users and are abandoning what made plex great to begin with. Once you get used to JellyFin it's really great.

This is why I never take the jellyfin evangelicals seriously. Plex is good software - nothing has been taken away and my experience with it has been consistently good and stable for multiple years. > plex reporting all my media, habits, etc to their movie studio bed partners There is no proof that they're doing what you're claiming. From what I've seen, people love trying to to push jellyfin by making things up about plex. Also a polished UI/UX counts for a lot more than the solo-user jellyfin crowd thinks.

Many Plex users were pretty embarrassed to be outed for soft porn to family members and colleagues. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/180maoe/plex_crossed_a_line_with_your_week_in_review/ https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/180maoe/plex_cr...

  Yep, tried Jellyfin, UX was terrible, got back to Plex. If it’s not as good as Plex, it doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not.
