Jellyfin is not just good... but better than Plex now?! (vger.social)

I've feel like I've used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it's going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it's substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I'm impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

I don't know if it's bad UX or UI, but I do agree there's something really disturbing with jellyfin's options and tweaks... More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?

Now It's easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.

Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can't believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.
