    Why would anyone use Plex over jellyfin anyway? The writing was on the wall years ago.

      I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

      Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.

      My users don’t want to fiddle.
