I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

I didn’t realize how expensive plex is. Definitely going to keep with Jellyfin for now.

Great choice! Am a happy Jelly user with a useless lifetime plexpass ;-)

I still only use the free version of plex. I don’t stream to other people but I am pretty sure the option to share my library is still there. I do stream from two other libraries on occasion.
