One thing is the price, a whole another thing is the cluttered UI with too many features. I just want play a movie/tv series. Switched to Jellyfin and not looking back.

Just hope Jelly doesnt suffer the same fate. 🙂

    Jellyfin was created by just such a move and nobody talks about Emby any more.

    I keep wondering what happened to Emby as well. Back when I started this it was only Plex and Emby and I picked Emby and brought the lifetime pass for like $100. Still use it today and works great. I tried using jellyfin a year ago just to see what the fuss was about and to also create another service to handle my 4k content locally and I wasn't a fan of the UI as much as Emby (Emby isn't the best either). I also had weird issues playing some stuff and gave up on it. I'll stick with my Emby and Navidrome setup, they don't track me or need more money outside the occasional donations I will throw them since I'm sure they don't make much.

    Jelly works well for me. Simple, intuitive, hw encoding works great. Responsive app. I had Plex installed on a Phillips TV. It got slower and slower.

    But I do understand Plex. They have a business case and need to earn money. Sadly the UI got more and.more confusing.
