Never used plex but heavily looked into both plex and emby way back and came to the conclusion emby was what i wanted mostly due to it having an add on for Kodi that plex didnt. Funny enough plex released that same thing within the year and i was like oh well. Looking back on it all now I still love my decision even more. I paid for the lifetime sub which was $100 i think? Thats now under $1 a month and I don’t see it going away anytime soon. I tried out jellyfin a few years ago for a 2nd media center and an excuse to try it out, I honestly didnt think it was very good and was shocked that everyone loves it so much. I even had issues playing some files which i never had problems with before on emby.
I tried Plex and Jellyfin, but the only one that has worked effectively for me has been Emby.

Emby is at least as old as Plex, and was one of the original forks of XBMC, just like Plex and kodi. I’m very familiar with it.
