I’ve switched to Emby. It’s a lot easier to set up than Jellyfin, and has an okay interface. Not the greatest, but whatever.
Comment on Netflix is garbage

Plex. Jellyfin is fine too, I am just used to Plex and prefer it’s interface. I don’t mind paying a few dollars per month for it.

This is coming from a person with a Plex lifetime pass for the last 15 years. Fuck Plex and their greed.
I was on the same boat as you, but this year I switched to Jellyfin and could not be happier. It actually feels smoother for me than Plex. Also there are a pot of little quality of life improvements which did not work on Plex for me, like always auto loadng subtitles in my language of choice.

Plex is good for those in our circles who only know of VPNs from ads on YouTube.
Jellyfin is great and all but not something you can just expose to the internet and hope for the best.

People keep saying that Jellyfin is scary to expose to the internet but Plex isn’t. Could you share your reason for it?

Not OP, but I don’t expose my jellyfin to the internet because of the rough edges and its age. It hasn’t been around long enough for me to trust it. It’s probably fine. I’m just not ready yet.
I barely expose my Plex server to the internet. Both are pretty seriously firewalled, and my jellyfin is only visible outside via tailscale.

Same here, I’ve had a lifetime pass for a bit over a decade but now I just keep it for coworkers and some family members. Jellyfin just runs better 99% of the time.

Plex will also auto select subtitles for your language of you set it up, and jellyfin currently can desync subtitles if you skip forward enough.
I don’t really have a preference between the two, but jellyfin still feels rough around the edges in places.
