I used Plex previously, but switched to Jellyfin about a year ago. https://jellyfin.org/ Some reasons why I switched: - They were using a cross-site fingerprinter for a while in their Plex Media Server web app. I discovered this with the Brave browser. - It's difficult to find and configure privacy settings, and you get no privacy benefit for subscribing to a premium plan. - Batch-editing playlists is painful. You can't select and move a range of items, only one item can be moved at a time. - Playlist import from Apple macOS Music/iTunes never worked well. - Selecting music to sync for offline listening is painful. There's no "sync only checked songs" option like there is in macOS Music. Conversions for offline syncing are slow. - Music metadata can't be edited as well as in macOS Music. - Remote access doesn't work well when the media server computer is on a VPN. The connection gets routed through the Plex relay servers, and quality is poor. I still prefer Jellyfin, but it's helpful to have Plex available as an alternative server, in case Jellyfin isn't working properly. Plex is starting on a partnership with Next.js that will be cool to see. Plex has also implemented some nice UX improvements lately: https://www.plex.tv/blog/choose-your-own-adventure-introducing-modern-layout/ https://www.plex.tv/blog/going-off-grid-just-got-great/ https://www.plex.tv/blog/finding-your-true-colors-with-plex/
