I tried both a while back, and settled on Plex, as it seemed more fully featured, plus the there's an app for it on my TV, so the UI and UX were better too.

What did you find JellyFin had, that Plex didn't?

An Open source License


I mean, while nice, the parent was talking about features, not the license.


that IS a feature esp considering how plex gets more and more arcane about new user onboarding to get you to buy their service


The Jellyfin Android TV app is much faster and more stable the Plex's. For me the Plex app keeps bogging down and crashing several times while I browse my library.

That's a huge plus, however sadly Jellyfin doesn't handle subtitles well, and I really dislike the lack of a quick "skip forward" action. So I tend to still use Plex.


Never had any issues with the Plex TV app myself, other than the number of updates being quite annoying at times.
