trustnoone,

I’m on emby, I like it and just feels more streamlined I guess. I really liked Plex years ago, but sitting on the forums and seeing people ask for basic expected features (like using the mouse to navigate instead of the keyboard) for their desktop player instead of adding tv streaming and I think the response was “no” and “if you don’t like it, you can compile it yourself”.

Also my crappy ds222j or whatever it is just can’t handle Plex (I had a hp microserver before).

Would like to try jellyfin though.

I run Plex for my main system but have Jellyfin installed to keep up to date with its progress.

I gave up on Emby pretty quickly but never went back to try it again, maybe it’s better now, but if I wanted an alternative to plex i’d stick with Jellyfin because it’s open source and community run.

xenspidey,

Started with plex, moved to emby, then jellyfin, then kodi… Now I’m back on plex

jasep,

Care to share your decision making process? I currently use Kodi as a frontend, and Jellyfin as a backend.

xenspidey,

End of the day, plex has just been easier. Easier transcoding, easier saving for offline use, etc. Just more polished.
