    I used Plex, and have a lifetime account, for the past decade. I just switched over to Jellyfin this week.

    Feel free to ask any questions that you have about differences or my opinion.

      @RunJun
      Same here, had a lifetime license very early, ultra cheap but stopped using it a longtime ago, I think they changed the license or something along those lines that made me not trust them anymore.

      I used kodi for a longtime but recently switched to jellyfin, never been happier.

      Seeing they turned into another one of those big companies that just whant to trap you I’m even happier with my choice

      Why did you switch if you already have a lifetime plex pass? With that, it costs nothing for anyone else to stream from your server.

        I would not update to windows 11. I installed Bazzite and Jellyfin was a one click install. Plex was more involved. Plus Plex seems to be well on its way to enshitification.

      Anything you’re missing from Plex?

      Regarding the big picture interface:

      • Are there trailers for upcoming movies and shows?
      • Can you easily search, download and sync subtitles?
      • Can you sort your library after various parameters?
      • Can you put movies on a watch list and have Radarr download it?
      • Can you delete movies and shows (including their files)?

        • I don’t see anything in settings or in the official plugins but there seems to be some plugins. Some seem to be to just search and not the pre-roll trailers.
        • There is a subtitles plugin that works well. It is not as cleanly handled for my tastes. You have to search for it on the media landing page. You cannot download and select while playing your media.
        • You can filter and then sort
        • I do not have experience to answer that
        • There is a delete media option. I am transferring a large amount of data right now and cannot test if it deletes it from Jellyfin or entirely.
