    As someone who picked up lifetime for like $45 or whatever it was (I think a 50% off sale?) what must have been 15 years ago…

    I run jellyfin. Its just a better experience IMO.

      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.
