I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

I know someone with a Plex who won't switch to Jellyfin because it's too complicated, but now is looking for other platforms. I hate to tell them... they're all complicated.

    Jellyfin is complicated? It's easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that's not all that hard, just set up tailscale

    Since my last comment (I never realized I had replies to my comments here) they have started to use Jellyfin and are hoping to phase out their Plex.

    No worries. Sometimes jumping platforms can seem scary/difficult but really it's just adapting to the change and having to learn things in a slightly different way.

    I made the jump a few months ago and I've never looked back - Jellyfin is all around better for my use-case at least (no plugins, and just streaming from my existing media library).

    It's been a while since I used Plex, but is it really that much less complicated than Jellyfin? When I switched, it seemed like roughly the same amount of complication, but that was a long time ago.

    No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.

    Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.
