People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I never fully understood this argument as you would have to do that anyways with plex unless you're using their proxy which would just artificially rate limit all of your users. But I do realize that jellyfin doesn't have an email invite system in place which really is my biggest issue

What's the "that" that you'd have to do anyway with Plex? I had to do nothing of the sort. I asky friends and family to make a Plex account and ask what email address they used. Then I give that email access to my library
