Wait plex or jellyfin? Both?

Edit: thanks y'all

Plex. Its been getting shittier for years.

Meanwhile JF has been improving in leaps and bounds.

Since he mentions enshittification, I assume he means Plex.

However I am pretty sure both will have some bugs. I use jellyfin, so I can only speak about that. But one annoyance is that the androidTV app sometimes doesn't have the best subtitle support. However it allows you to open movies in external players, which is a workaround.

I bought a lifetime plex pass once and have no issues since. HW encoding works out of the box, the scanners do their job and I can use their apps on every platform. I had to disable the Plex offered free movies once, the horror. Don't act like Plex is some Google level shit of annoyance or 'enshittification'.

Jellyfin on the other hand has atrocious UI that basically screams the absence of any sort of UI designer into your face, the HW encoding is a mess to set up and the apps are a jungle of different 3rd party apps...
