What features? I have both and I vastly prefer Jellyfin. Plex is slow and the menus dont get right to the point.

    Haven't tried JF in over a year, but last attempt was full of errors. I'll give it another shot.

    Only reason I'm still on Plex is I have a lifetime pass, and it's working. But it's sure inshitifying every day... Remote play with plex pass is super easy, and plex amp was promising but replaced it with navidrome and so much happier. I'm ready to ditch Plex if JF is better now, I'll install it next time I have time to mess with my setup.

    I have had a lifetime pass for years since maybe 2014 or so? They added photo sync, that was awesome, then they took it away. That sucked.

    I simply run both at the same time on my server, they point to the same library. The compose file is stupid simple (as is plex's) so why not.

    Better is relative, but I like Jellyfin better. Plex's choices for my library layout suck. Jellyfin gets to the point, and fast.

    Either way, doesn't cost anything to run both, and set up is about 10 minutes if you already are using docker.

    That's it, the pain is coming back now. I didn't use docker last time I tried, I don't remember the issues I ran into, but I was running Plex on windows vm with the library on a nas share mounted locally through iscsi. Don't ask why, it was a good setup at the time.

    That is true. I also hate having to change each episode separatedly to change subtitle/audio track. Apropos, jellyfin didn't have subtiles download integrated on their menus, has that changed since last year? Not having that means manually downloading and syncronizing subtitles, and life's too short for that kind of drudgery
