Really? I’ve been running Plex for almost 20 years, and when I tried jellyfin, I’ll admit, I saw a more than a couple of interesting features here and there, but I came away looking at a system that I saw in Plex 18 years ago and that I very much look forward to seeing evolve into something bigger and better, but is under developed and immature for now. That said, it is an ambitious project that I enthusiastically support. I don’t particularly like the direction that Plex is going, and it is well beyond time that it open source project fork off to continue what Plex was originally designed to do.

Don’t get me wrong, jellyfin is definitely the future. But jellyfin today exists as approving ground for the future. For today? And after nearly 2 decades of investment in it? I’m sticking with Plex for now and for probably several years. I administer my own server and a few other servers with many many users. I’m not migrating away from Plex for a long time.

Not out of loyalty, just because it’s what best meets mine needs at the moment.

But jellyfin? I’m gonna be around for a long time, and I’m keeping my eye on that project. I expect that’s where the future will be. But not for a while.

But as soon as it’s good enough, I’ll be happy to migrate
