Kodi is dated and barely works and jellyfin lacks basic features. I have both jellyfin and plex, I prefer Plex but I have my own server with lifetime bought for $50
You can self host Plex and it has more developed features than jellyfin. Sadly, Plex needs a subscription and it’s only worth it if you buy the lifetime on a flash sale.
I have a very organized Plex server that utilizes as much features as I can, and Jellyfin just lacked a lot of that. Basically that 10% missing is what I want. It’s not bad, if I was to redo everything from the ground up it’d be Jellyfin or Plex, but definitely not Kodi like suggested above.
Edit: I believe for me it was remote access ease of use by Plex that I use heavily.

yeaaaaaaah, and thats a big nope. Why does one need a subscription or a lifetime lease when you supposedly can self host? Subscription is what brought us into this mess in the first place.

Setting up a Wireguard / VPN isn’t that hard, and cuts out unwanted Corpos as well.
Plex?
nah. Plex bad. Kodi or Jellyfin

Why use Plex (and relying on trusting them) when you can selfhost Jellyin?

A VPN setting up for a mother who has no technical experience and lives 3 hours away and a grandparent who’s 80 and lives 2 hours away is indeed hard.
Most of my Plex was set up to cut streaming and cable on their end, I haven’t fully cut streaming yet… 😞
@DmMacniel @Casterial any advantage on jellyin over emby?
yeah, that its the open source fork of emby.
