I’m a long time Plex user (bought a lifetime pass for $75 some number of years ago).

I periodically try jellyfin, usually after plex does something else annoying to its userbase, and keep coming back to plex.

Jellyfin’s menus experience, particularly the cover art and metadata matching, seems to be worse than plex’s and I haven’t bothered to figure out what the difference is.




Jellyfin's metadata matcher doesn't handle Plex's filename format well at all. Renaming everything to the preferred jellyfin form and it works much better.
