I get that lifetime is a long time and this doesn't affect existing customers... but what's the point of paying so much for Plex when Jellyfin is free?
For me, the biggest reason I stick with Plex is because I have people who watch my library on PS4 and PS5, but Jellyfin doesn't have media apps for Sony platforms.
For me it's basically the same. I have people who use my library and they can access through anything. And I can access through anything because everything has a first party app. I don't have to dig around and sort out code or any third party options. There's a first party app for everything.
I took a while to get my lifetime plex pass, but I got it last black Friday and I really couldn't be happier.
I know jellyfin is great and I know plex has some sort of limitations that just paid users can get but, still, I'm paid user and I can use it pretty well. Jellyfin is great but requires too much config and some of my users don't want to mess up with that
Do these platforms have Kodi? If so, I think it’s even easier to access any library.
Less point every day. Jellyfin is getting better and Plex is getting more expensive and occasionally worse.
