Never used Plex. Jellyfin has always met my needs, so I never bothered to try it.
Plex has been around quite a while longer than JF. Before JF, the only way to really have a "self-hosted Netflix" was with Plex, so there are a lot of us who built our long-standing media setups around that.
That said, I have a JF instance running and matched almost 1:1 with Plex specifically for this situation, so I'm going to start pivoting everyone to that as I wind Plex down.
Meh, I've used dlna with PS2 over 20 years ago. Not exactly the same, but for my needs essentially the same.
That's an interesting method. I actually have a PS2 myself, running PSBBN. Maybe I'll try that out.
There's a great project called WatchState that allows you to sync show progress between JF and Plex. Highly recommend it for while you're switching over.
