plex or Jellyfin? (lemmy.world)

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?

Seems like I’ll continue to stick with Jellyfin because of the offline access. My internet is very spotty where I live so it seems to be the best option.

Same here.

My internet connection isn't too spotty, but having gone through it I found it really annoying not being able to watch my own shows off my own systems just because I can't auth to Plex's login servers.
