      jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.

      Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

        Can’t say me remote entry isnt working. Was streaming it from my phone in the firefox and chrome browser while on the go and also from my work pc.
        Can’t imagine how easier one wants it to be in comparison (it’s literally like navigating to Youtube).

          Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

          Edit: Yes, Samsung Tizen models can try and sideload an app, but that’s not something the vast majority of people are ever going to even think about, let alone figure out how to accomplish.

          Edit 2: Well shiver me timbers, Jellyfin’s on those Onn TV’s. TIL.

      Always funny how anyone is crucified (on Lemmy) for using Windows or (how dare you) paid and/or free proprietary software.

      Yet when it comes to something like Plex they always backpedal and either state that they don’t have something like that or it’s so convenient.
      If one goes on a (F)OSS crusade at least be consistent… >:(
