The reason Jellyfin is harder to set up is because they don’t run TURN servers. Those cost a lot of money, hence why Plex keeps raising their prices. I wouldn’t be surprised if Plex’ “lifetime” subscriptions didn’t last for much longer.

That being said, Jellyfin is fairly easy to set up. You just have to watch some tutorials.

    I'm waiting for plex to announce that lifetime subscriptions don't cover certain features like secure connect, and that those features will require an addon if enabled. The writing is on the wall.

    Does that affect me if I already use my own reverse proxy or Cloudflared? I think not.

    At that point, if you have your own reverse proxy, just use Jellyfin.

    Emby is on the path of enshittification too. Jellyfin is a free and open-source fork of Emby. It's like its spiritual successor.
