Biggest upside of Plex for me is the fact that you can set up secure streaming from anywhere with basically a single click. With Jellyfin, that is much more manual.
Besides that, I think some people may like that Plex has its own set of TV Shows & movies to stream, though I’m certain that those are ad supported. (Haven’t used that feature & have moved to Jellyfin)
I’ve only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?
Just a more polished interface, solid stability, real good transcoding and a client on just about everything that installs an app lmao
If you and everyone you care about being on it have been fine with Jellyfin, then there’s absolutely no reason to switch
If you like Jellyfin, stick with it. Plex kept screwing up requiring me to wipe the database. And the people who run it keep adding shit nobody wants.
