I’ve feel like I’ve used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it’s going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it’s substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I’m impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

    I actually prefer the Jellyfin client to the Kodi client by a lot. Using Kodi on top just adds more unneeded complexity and reloading libraries in my experience.

      I disagree, as kodi syncs jellyfin DB without issue for me and I much prefer its UX.

      The nice part of jellyfin is that they support both kodi and a “jellyfin on kodi” experience natively. Plex has neither, with both being 3rd party apps where the support is hit or miss. I used “plexkodiconnect” for years and was glad for it, but it was a journey to keep working at times.
