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.

It is incredibly difficult to get jelljfin ypen into your friends or your parents or grandparents house without considerable setup and maintenance over time.

Not in my experience. I just had to click a few buttons. Once you set it up, it just works, with only the need to occasionally update the server.

Granted, I do have some experience in this area, so I might be doing the arrogant geologist meme. Maybe if it's so difficult to set up, I should do a tutorial one of these days.
