Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.
Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.
Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).
It’s in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.
It will become like any other shitty streaming service eventually.
Time to move to jellyfin I guess
Jellyfins pretty great. It’s much simpler than Plex and has quite a few less features, but it does what it does really well
What are some missing features? I’m only familiar with jellyfin

Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool
I’ll probably keep both installed
They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.
I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.

Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 bit only.
I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.

Izzys repo is not fdroid. And the developers never managed to put it themselves on fdroid. So its a mess of many things.
The lifetime license is definitely declining in value.
Agreed, but we probably all knew it had to decline at some point. Nothing is really free.
I’m just glad I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth. Feb 2014 is when I got it. So 10 years, 75$. I cant complain 😂
Jellyfin really is free :p
I’m not really sure what you’re implying here
You said nothing is really free.
Sorry, why are we switching away from Plex because of this? Genuinely asking.
E: Wow at the downvotes to an honest question. 🥲

Thanks. I understand this perspective.
So I read it and I still don’t see the outrage.
It’s in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.

And? As long as I can watch my content, why should I care? It’s a business with employees and they need to make money somehow.
If you cannot comprehend why people are outraged at a product they used getting degraded, not sure what to tell you.
It still does what it did when I started using it. What’s the problem?
Emby is good
Wow, the option to purchase things is really that bad huh?
If you follow the history, you’d get it. Just another nail in the coffin.
