With Plex adding "Live TV" and all the other shit for the past 6 years, their enshittification isn't new. Most people I know still on Plex are only doing so because they paid for a lifetime pass. They're full on sunk-cost-fallacy.

    Still not worth, I have a lifetime plex pass but have switched 100% to Jellyfin now. Enshittification was part of it, but their response to the privacy hack was the last straw.

    I'm still on Plex because the app experience just isn't there on Jellyfin yet. It's close, but switching audio/subtitle tracks is not as intuitive or straightforward as I want yet. I'm thinking it will probably be ready for my server in a year or two.

    Really? I hit the subtitle track button on my remote and select english, and that's only for not-automatically chosen files whenever that happens. I watch a fuckton of Animes and 95% of the time it's automatically chosen. I'm using an Android TV client though.

    Ditto for audio - I hit the little Music Note icon, and every audio track is there for me to select.

    Might be that the Roku app is/wasn't quite up to the same standard as the Android TV one. I also remember not liking how they handled something in their official Android app, but it's been six months. I honestly don't remember. I just have a reminder to check it out again next summer.

    Ah, I can't stand advertisements so I couldn't put up with Roku equipment. Ads everywhere. And yeah, since "Roku OS" is proprietary, it probably didn't see the same adoption as more standard stuff (Like, even just FireTV sticks are Android at least, so the vanilla client works on those)
