    What is the point of Plex? I just went straight for Jellyfin and it does everything I need and then some. Is it just that people went with Plex initially and then stuck with it as it got enshittified?

      Plex has better security, federates and shares with other plex servers and generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

      But, I don’t use it. I like Jellyfin. It’s free and while it may lack a few features, it isn’t worse by any measure.

        Regarding security, it’d be interesting to see how secure it actually is. Yeah, the individual endpoints might be protected better, but is Plex the company maybe a single point of failure?
