    I’m sorry but you can hate Plex and prefer jellyfin all you want, but you don’t have to lie. Nothing about jellyfin is a “better experience” than Plex.

    What are some examples?

      Don’t have to make an account, for starters. Gives you more detailed control of transcoding options, audio playback and whatnot.

      The UI is worse, that much is true, but that’s not the end all be all of user experience.

        Making an account is what allows the easy library sharing and remote streaming, something that Plex is significantly better than JellyFin at.

        What transcoding options does it have that Plex doesn’t?
