From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server

I suppose I understand the reasons people prefer Jellyfin. But on the small chance of liking a commercial product, Plex is truly dead simple for my parents. They have an AppleTV. They signed up. I share it with them via their registered email address. And they’re in. It was as simple a process as I could hope for.

That being said, do I like everything they’re pushing for? No. But they at least allow users to opt out.

I understand the sentiments here, truly. I just don’t have a compelling reason to change since it does what I want, is simple to set up and use, simple to share, and gets refined all the time.

This is heresy, but not all commercial software is the devil. I suspect RMS would hate me for this.

It'll get worse and worse until you wish you left sooner. Hang in there. They'll cross your line eventually

Plex crossing some “line” doesn’t suddenly invalidate all the previous value one has gotten from it.
