      You can self host Plex and it has more developed features then jellyfin. Just Plex raised cost and it’s losing its edge for that. Lifetime was great and still is.

      A lot of little things I use in Plex jellyfin lacked so I pulled the server until it’s developed more. It’s not bad, but it’s not there, yet

      Edit: I couldn’t even tell you the features anymore it was about a year ago, but it was enough for me to just buy lifetime Plex on a flash sale.

        Sadly, Plex needs a subscription and it’s only worth it if you buy the lifetime on a flash sale.

        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.

        Edit: I believe for me it was remote access ease of use by Plex that I use heavily.

        Setting up a Wireguard / VPN isn’t that hard, and cuts out unwanted Corpos as well.
