    I don’t know why everyone in the selfhosting community still even mentions Plex or uses it.

    It’s closed source, not free; Jellyfin is a no brainer yet people still go to Plex??

      Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom “install this app on your tv and log in”, which is exactly what Plex does.

      I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.

    The downfall of Plex needs to be compiled into an 80 minute YouTube video with sponsors spaced in for NordVPN and Viagra
