Currently just using Jellyfin, but have used both Plex and Emby in the past.
Main reason I switched from Plex was mobile support. I also prefer FinAmp, which I use to download music for access when I’m at work, and at home I can access my entire collection through the same app.
I recommend setting up everything through Docker. I have Portainer running, which helps manage the containers. It was pretty trivial to switch what I was using by just setting up a different container. You can also have both running at the same time off the same library, and see what you prefer.
Pretty sure the account is mostly automated. Might as well have it on multiple platforms
Yeah, I switched to Jellyfin ages ago and never looked back. Haven’t really run into anything I’d want to do that Jellyfin can’t do but Plex can.
My understanding is it’s a joint venture between the creators and some LLC (don’t know too much of the details of that), so the creators have at least some ownership stake. The profits from subscriptions get split evenly based on watch time.
I remember them doing a lifetime subscription offer that I was intrigued by, but I can afford to support them through a subscription so I didn’t bite on the chance.
I don’t get ads like that too often, but the annoying thing for me is when the ad is 10x louder than the video itself.
Personally, I’d rather pay for Nebula than YouTube premium. Most of the creators I actively follow are on there anyways, and the few that aren’t (usually the ones with very long videos) I should probably just watch with ads anyways to support them.
Switched to Fedora at the beginning of the year and couldn’t be happier.
