People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

It seems to depend on how you are granting access and have configured the server... if they have to setup VPN access in order to access Jellyfin, as opposed to logging into plex website.

    No, that doesn't change anything about what I said really.

    To me, if I'm hosting something for my friends and family, they can put in the effort to learn how to use it. Period. Whether that's as simple as logging in through a browser, installing an app, or using a VPN. They can learn, or they can pay for Netflix (as an example, since we're discussing a media server originally).

    In my experience getting dozens of people on to my server, plenty will happily choose to pay for Netflix. I want people to choose my server over paid streaming, so I offer both Plex and Jellyfin, and to date not a single person has stuck with Jellyfin, and several have gotten my invite email, took a look at the FAQ on how to request media, and continued using paid streaming.
