Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

    I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

    Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.

    My users don’t want to fiddle.

      That’s the opposite of my experience. Jellyfin just works and immediately exposes the content we’re looking for, plex tries overloading you with bullshit and burying your actual content

        I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

        But Jellyfin doesn’t have that reputation.
